Summer showers...

There is something unmistakably beautiful about a shower of rain after days upon days of beautiful sunshine that just feels so natural , so beautiful and so real. For when there is Sunshine , rain often follows - well in my neck of the woods anyway. So this all too familiar thing began to fall from the sky , but I welcomed it , like an old friend who had been away for a while .... I ran out in it , with outstretched arms I embraced it , I felt the cold drops drip from my hair after many days of scorching heat and it felt amazing.

the sun shines though the rain.......

but what is so amazing is, after a downpour like that , when thunder and lightening strikes and puddles are made ..... the sky can return to this just a few moments later with beautiful clouds that could only be created with the paintbrush of God.

Why today is a Great Day !!

Today is a great day , because firstly I woke up at 7:30am to the most amazing...amazing news one could wake up to. I have been super blessed with a fabulously beautiful little nephew . A new terrific little human being who is at this current time not yet a whole day old , just hours old and yet has become one of the most important humans in my life .... did I mention he is fantastic.

So yes, today is a great day , because I love a little human being whom I have not met yet but know will be a fantastic part of my life for the rest of it , because although I don't want this awesome day to end as I can feel magic in the air- I also can not wait for the next day to come because that will bring me closer to holding my new nephew, and cuddling him , holding his hand and just gazing at him .

Today is also a fantastic day because my niece who is now sound asleep on my side of the bed " because this side is more comfy" is now a big sister  (which seems like a crazy concept because I cant imagine her being a "big" anything) ... came running into my bedroom today as I was getting things ready for her to go to bed and declared that she had "great news" , we sat down and told me that "today I got a baby brother" and my heart melted inside because I now have 2 of these amazing little people in my life and I could not be more thrilled .

So today is an awesome day for me :) I hope it was an awesome day for you too....and if you don't think it was , think again I know that in every day there has to be something good that happens to every person , there is a blessing in every day ..... waking up in the morning is a blessing in itself.

HAPPY AUGUST 1ST EVERYONE  !!!
