So it's raining. You were going on a picnic. You were planning to hang out the laundry. You were going to clean the gutters. Whatever it was, it's not going to happen.

The best laid plans of mice and men, and all that.

We're all in it now, like it or not. It's raining everywhere, on everyone. And we have choices to make. We can cling to old plans and dreams and fuss and cry and lament or we can make new plans.

If you need to feel sorry for yourself, take today to do it. It's a good day for it. But please do it with the intention of getting past it because wallowing helps no one.

Look at what can be done and do it. Know, with all your heart and soul, that the things that really matter are nothing you can hold onto anyway. Love, trust, joy, these are among the greatest treasures in the world. They lie within you...always. Only you can deprive yourself of them. If you don't see them or feel them, only you are standing in the way...let go of whatever it is that you need to let go of so that you can move where you need to move to experience the best that life really has to offer.
