Sunny Days And Rainy Days
I'm a sunny day person. I always love to look at sunrise because for me, it always promises a brand new day. I always love the warmth that the sun gives, I just simply love the sun but there are really times that I long for the rain especially when it's too hot. When rain comes after long sunny days, I often appreciate it because of the coolness that it brings and the sound of the rain is just therapeutic. Rainy days especially when I'm just at home sipping a cup of coffee is one of the natural highs. And when I hear children outside laughing and running in the rain, the child in me likes to join them and makes me wish I could still do that without our neighbors thinking what is going on with me.
As I compare the two opposite weathers, it makes me think about life and how I appreciate both life's sunny and rainy days. I used to think that one is better than the other but I had a realization that both are good, both are necessary because it makes life balanced. Balance of nature that is. Some think that sunny days are better because you can do a lot of things outside but some also consider rain as pouring of blessings and now that I think more of it, the more I appreciate what both weathers bring. For me, sunny days are days that I can do many things, enjoy outdoors and just have fun but when it rains it gives me time to slow down, relax and just be lazy. Just like in life, there are good times and bad times. There are times that you need to rush things and there are times that you need to slow down and take things as they come. At this point in time, I can say that I'm at a testing moment but thinking of it and how life has treated me, I couldn't complain. Life has treated me kind and taking things in a more positive way helps me get through and even though I can call it a slow time, there are little things that remind me of how good life is and there are a lot of things that I should be thankful for more than I can complain. I've been through tough times before and it didn’t last long and I got through it so I know easy time will come again. After all, life is a cycle. Life is life and there are really challenges and things that we have no control of and some circumstances that may come that we don't like much but I always look forward to its surprises because that makes the journey exciting. I'm still excited as to where these sunny days and rainy days in life would take me along with its twists and turns and bumps and humps but one thing is for sure, one day I will have what I would call my "rainbow bliss"

Lucky Day
I was scheduled to submit an application to a school that I'm applying today, so I went out early only to my surprise and everyone else', there was a transport strike for public utility jeepney in our city but I just went ahead and said to myself that if I couldn't get a ride then I just walk back home (as if it won't take me forever to just walk) but well I took my chance.
When I was waiting for a ride back home, there were many people on the streets waiting for a ride too. No jeepney and taxi available so what I did was I kept repeating in my head that I could get a ride, I could get a ride and after about 10-15 minutes, a college classmate passed by and he offered me a ride, not just offered to drop me somewhere but even delivered me home. It was a special delivery. Haha!
Thinking of it, there are really unexpected things that happen when you desire it just like my "special delivery ride" today. It made me think also that keeping positive thoughts and believing in your thoughts makes a positive response. I'm not saying that it happens all the time but today is just a first-hand experience of it and so I call it a lucky day .
