Its rainy and chilly this morning.
Coffee is a Godsend.
So it is the proverbial RAINY DAY….
What have you saved for this day?
I’ve never really understood what “Save it for a rainy day” should entail. It sounds like the rainy day is hard times of some sort.
I like rainy days.
Rain washes away impurities.
It gives life to the plants and animals.
It softens and heals the hard cracked ground after days of heat from a blistering sun.
In the Bible it cleansed the land for 40 days and 40 nights. Actually it scrubbed the fire out of it, providing a new beginning.
Maybe that’s it.
A new beginning.
Save it for a new beginning.
So what do you save for a rainy day?
Is it money? That’s the obvious answer I suppose.
Your expensive perfume? Special occasions only.
That expensive night out with someone, dinner, theater, the sky is the limit.
The new car you’ve always wanted, drive it off the showroom floor.
A dream vacation. An exotic beach or maybe the Alps.
Visiting friend or family you haven’t seen in years.
Telling that certain person your feelings.
And what if that rainy day doesn’t come?
Tomorrow is not promised.
Wear that perfume today.
Go see that someone you miss.
Live for today.
I’m not saying go spend your nest egg like the world ends tomorrow, I’m saying enjoy today.
Do those special things you have been waiting for the right time to do.
The right time is now.
You’ve planned it in your head a million times.
Treat yourself.
Not everything has a price tag or takes a lot of time.
Start with the simple things you desire.
Enjoy the life you’ve been building.
Don’t forget to stop and smell the coffee, slow down and have a cup.
Don’t just watch the rain.
