A day of grey

Yeah, i know, it rhymes. Makes it sound a bit corny doesn't it? Oh well, that's beside the point! :)

Today is one of those days. You know, those days when the sky's cloudy and grey and there's an occasional shower of frustrating-rain. Frustrating-rain is when the rain is too heavy to be a sprinkling that makes your hair sparkly, and too light to be a downpour that you can dance in. Not that you couldn't dance in it, but it's waaaaay more fun to dance in a downpour that gets you drenched and giggling within 5 seconds [I know, it's lame, but that's me! And surely I'm not the only one who likes dancing in the rain? You secretly love it, don't you?! :P ]. Yep. Today is one of THOSE days.

Usually on THOSE days, I wake up and go "ugh". Especially if I have to go to school. But, I'm working on being thankful for everything and finding the good in everything. Even on THOSE days. And also, I need to remember that God made today -- and every other one of the THOSE days (I'm getting pretty sick of writing "THOSE days". Anyone got a suggestion of a better name for them?) -- especially for us, long long before it came to be, in the days before forever ago.

So what is there to be thankful for in today? Well, there's that little patch of sunshine peeking through some of the clouds... and look!! There's some blue sky! Thank you, God.
But aside from the weather, there are so many other things to be thankful for. For example, I'm alive today aren't I? That's always good. :) It sounds silly but -- not meaning to be morbid here -- I could die tomorrow. So remember to thank God for your life!
What else? Well, there're flowers outside my window. Simple, yet wonderful.
There are so many things to be thankful for. And not just in the good things. Everything has some good in it (well, except for sin, but you get the idea).

It does sound kinda corny, y'know, like that song. The one that goes "Oh, be thankful for the googd things that you've got. Oh, be thankful for the good things that you've got. For the good things that you've got are for many...." Sorry, got a bit carried away. :)
But, corny doesn't always mean bad. In fact, most corny lines or puns usually have a good meaning behind it [like my post title, maybe? ;) ] It's true, it's a pretty corny song. In fact, the first time I heard in [in grade 2!], I came home and told mum how funny (and maybe slightly lame!) it was. Well, she told me that it was good, and all the reasons why. I understand now. Thanks Mum. And it is true. We should be thankful.

So that's my insight into all things thankful. Well, maybe not ALL things! ;) Hopefully it was helpful, in some way.
