Dancing In The Rain

All day long it was the most insane weather conditions as another storm hit California...but this time the sun broke out just enough for people to embrace the the momentary dry spell. While looking outside my mom and noticed a double rainbow (yes we are still on the theme of rainbow seeds). I had seen this really cool picture of a person jumping mid air right under a rainbow. Of course, I wished to recreate the picture. So here I am with my mother, doing your typical cheer jump (deer jump for those of you who took ballet) and my mom continued to miss me while I was mid air. "Do it again!" She would yell. "Do you want me to jump on 3, or wait a second after 3?" "I don't know." Ugh. I tried everything and it wasn't working. So I just decided to continuously jump, and hopefully she would snap the picture while I was midair. So here I am getting my daily work out doing back to back jumps and it starts to pour. A massive cloud burst with what felt like 3 pound raindrops hitting me, weighing me down as I challenged gravity with my jumps. But there was something different about this day. It was weird, the sun was out, it was down pouring rain, a double rainbow was shining, and thunder was blaring in the background. After what felt like forever we finally got the picture right. I walked back to the protected balcony where my mom was standing and she said; "This is a good omen." "What do you mean?" "Things are going to start to change for the better." "Why?" "Because you just have to believe." Sometimes in life you just have to believe. Most of the time it's inexplicable, but in due time, something positive can change. My mom always notices the positive through nature, like a sunny day with rain a double rainbow and thunder. Taking a picture of this miraculous moment reinstates ones need to believe in faith, the universe, whatever it is people believe in. But in essence you have to believe. You may not why or in what, but just believe.
