The Rain Came Pouring…

The rain came pouring down
when I was drowning
that’s when I could finally breathe.
-taylor swift
Remember on Friday when I mentioned I’d had a mini-breakdown sitting in Starbucks?  Since then, the rain has started pouring down.  But sometimes the rain isn’t always a bad thing.  For most of North Carolina, actually, it’s a really good thing.  It washed away the snow and ice that caused so many problems.
But in the way of life, the rain has been a little different.  You know how they say when it rains it pours?  Oh gosh, you guys.  It is true.  It is so true.  
While it feels good for the rain to wash away all the things we’ve been holding on to for dear life, it’s scary to be wiped clean.  
The water filled my lungs
I screamed so loud
but no one heard a thing.
-taylor swift
But that’s where Taylor Swift is wrong.  So, so wrong.  I screamed out, alright.  I cried, I begged.  I needed the rain.  I asked for the rain.  
And God sent the rain…

    Hugs! I don't know what else to say except that if we were at Starbucks together, I'd give you a big ol' hug. Hang in there.

    I hope the skies are beginning to clear. Did you find anything out?
    On a weather-related note, I would almost rather have snow than rain. I had my share of rainy summers in Alaska.
