saturday, of my five day weekend. and rain is waiting impatiently to pour from the clouds. lingering in the saturated air. the sun did not peak today. i made the most of the day today. before the rain came, an early walk to the beach with the dogs. the beach was empty, no swimmers today, yet still beautiful watching the waves roll onto the sand. trip to yoga class, than a run on the elliptical (which i have not done for months). craft store, goodwill, prepared lunch for today. in reality it's not only a literally cloudy day, but today is also my fiance's mother's one year death anniversary. i thought we would do some type of memorial today. but he could not sleep at night, thinking of his last moments of her on her death bed. the coldness of her white hands, the horror in seeing her pain, and living with the pain the rest of the year. and so he chose to not think about it today as he slept away the day. it is 430 pm. he woke only briefly for lunch. and so it's rainy in all ways. i let him sleep his sorrow. his choice, as i cannot say i know that pain. but i am trying to be productive and creative with my day. listening to indie soothing music as i do wedding crafts, meditate, and lounge.
as tourists, rainy days are out of our control. when it rains, is it time to catch up on sleep? go to a local movie? restaurant? museum? write out your postcards. linger in that coffee shop. there are choices. just because it rains, it does not mean your day must be ruined. but if you choose to sleep, catch up on it, and enjoy naptime in hotels.
