Today I am grateful for the smell of spring rain. I think rain smells different in the spring when the air is warm but not hot. It reminds me of all of the beautiful things that bloom and grow in the spring. I stepped out to get my mail this afternoon and as soon as I opened the door I could smell that sweet rain smell. Instantly I smiled. I love that smell!
I continue to try to improve my mood. I know I can't expect it to be better overnight...although the perfectionist in me thinks it should. I find that I lose my temper with the people I love more when I am stresses so today I work on trying to control it. I yelled at Alex pretty hard this morning. When I apologized to him he grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze. For him, more than anyone, I will work on controlling my anger when life seems to overwhelm me. such a sweet little boy who brings me so much love and happiness.
In the midst of life taking its course, we take basic things for granted, life the rain. You remind me that we should be appreciative of even the simplest things nature has to offer, like rain. I love the rain and its smell. I feel it enhances mood and reduces stress.
