Cloudy with a chance of change...

Sometimes we can see it coming. We look at the 7-day forecast and see the clouds on the horizon. We can even make predictions: 30% chance of change today, but definitely thunderstorms by the weekend.

Other times, change surprises us. It is the sudden downpour on the cloudless day that catches us out in the open without an umbrella.

Personally, I'm feeling completely drenched. And I'd like to change out of my wet clothes, now, if you don't mind.

It's not to say that rain, I mean change, is a bad thing. We were talking as a family tonight about a recent surprise and noted that we've met all of our best friends as a result of change. Our favorite house, restaurants, books...all of them came because we did something different - or something different was inflicted upon us.

That's not to say that change is always a good time. Quite often, it just isn't. I'm willing to take my chances on this one, though. After a hot bath and a good night's sleep, I'm just willing to bet that there might be a rainbow in the morning.
