April Showers

There is something about the rain that makes me feel so small sometimes. Just when I think my life is out of control and there is no possible way I can complete all of my assignments before their due date, it rains.

Rain always makes me realize how this is nature's world and I am just living in it. It can be calm and soothing or treacherous and strong and there is nothing I can do about it but just let it be. 

When I was little, my mom told me about how when she was little, she would listen to the rain and think about a princess that was wearing a dress covered in beads. Each time the drops hit her window, she imagined the beads moving and making sound on the dress. Lighting was like light reflecting of the princess' jewelry. It is always something I think about when it rains. 

The semester is winding down and I feel like I am spinning out of control, but then like today....it rains....and suddenly things don't seem so bad. 

And then the rain comes...
