rolling thunder

Big old crashing mad thunderstorm here this late evening/early morning. It made me smile to hear it. It felt as though the heavens were raging and from my past few posts, you could say I've felt that same kind of rumble in my belly. I apologize if my posts have been a downer, however these are matters I am experiencing and to write about anything else wouldn't feel right. I have thought about working on my outlook about all of the change ahead. I've always told myself everything happens for a reason, and that I'm better off in the end for it. So I feel I must accept these same principles for the changes happening to the island. Somehow. And I realize that ultimately leaving the island isn't what scares me, it's the process of having to watch it change that hurts the most and what makes me attend meeting after meeting until I want to run screaming into the street. The thunder that woke me last night is symbolic of how I want "all of this" to come to an end. I want the movie ending where in the blink of an eye the antagonists wake up and realize their wrong doings only to make an abrupt 180 degree turn for the greater good of the land. However it plays out, I can still decide to live happily ever after. In the end it is my choice.

p.s. the above image is a stock image, not mine. and I promise to write something more cheerful next time!

There is nothing I love more than lying in bed, in the dark, listening to the sounds of summer rain pour down. And it's even better when you feel like it resonates with your soul.

I'm happy you agree and know what that experience feels like.
