Rainy Friday!

2013_03080004

Dark, cloudy, rainy, thunder, wind and nothing but candles and warm glow throughout the house.

There's something about a candle lit atmosphere, especially in the kitchen.

Along with the glow of candles, my house is covered in the lovely scent of Hyacinths.

In the corner of the living room

And even on the TV cabinet

And all the while, big fat raindrops splashed on the driveway sending droplets flying every which way

the newly grown seedlings rejoiced and seem to stretch towards the sky

For some it may seem like just a rainfall, but God has taught me to truly enjoy every single moment in my life and to look at what is around me as if I'm seeing it for the first time.

Since I've changed my outlook on life, I tend to enjoy my days that much more.

Think I'll go have a cup of coffee and sit under the covered patio enjoying the rain!

I'm so in love with this post. I know I'm a little late. Just trying to get caught up. The candles and flowers are amazing. I'm so jealous of your ability to keep flowers alive.
