The Magic of Rain

Oh do click play :) This song just fits my mood so completely. 

(I love Anastasia. She may just be my favorite princess....and I know, she isn't Disney, gasp!)


What is it about rainy days that so enchants me? 

Is it the cloudy skies, the cool pitter-patter of the drops as they drum their fingers along the roof of my room, a constant rhythm that I listen to while I cozy into my little nook and read a good book? (At the moment, that book happens to be The Forgotten Garden, which is super good so far :). 


The sunset is just beginning to shine through the dark, delicious cover of clouds that have encircled me for the past few days, a few streaks of cotton candy pink mingling with orange.

And, of course, a nice gray sky.


Why are rainy days so magical? Perhaps it's that for me, they are so few and far between. So when I do encounter a nice rainy day, it is certainly something to be savored. 

These days fuel my imagination. I can imagine myself a fluttering creature, perching myself on one of the pink blooms on the fairy tree...



I can imagine myself dancing the Entwine with a very special gentleman....


 

 

Twirling just out of reach of my partner as he tries to capture me....

And, like any true gentleman, letting me win :)

 

For that is how the game is played :)

I stare in the mirror and imagine....


.....myself as a dancer, a ballerina.....I can almost remember myself dancing the Entwine, long ago....once upon a December :)


Lovely little rainy day....staying up late, dancing in memories, dreams exploding with wishes....those are my favorite days.

What are yours?

Love, J


P.S. This is just so graceful and elegant....I had to share :)
