Dancing in the Rain on Sunny Days; Part 7

In the end, though, what is the point? What is the point of all of this? All of the beauty and freedom and musings are all for nothing if the final conclusion doesn't affirm or change or edify anything inside of you. That doesn't mean the product isn't nice, or funny or that it should be shunned for all time. It just means it is without meaning. Or substance. Your takeaway from something meaningless should just be a good feeling or, you know, maybe even a bad feeling, but it will be something that fades because it meant nothing. But what is really important is creating something that will give someone else something worth keeping. What is my point? What is the point of all this typing and the strain I feel, strangely enough, in my forearms? It is to dance in the rain on sunny days. That doesn't mean anything, does it? But it gives you something to think about. I guess what I mean is this: You can be having a truly fantastic day. Sunny through and through- and then something terrible happens. A deal breaker. Day-ruiner. A great big crap on the lawn of your happiness. Joy-killer. It's the rain. It's come for you. What are you going to do about it? I submit- dance. Dance in this rain. It's YOUR sunny day and never let the rain ruin it. Take it. Take that bad situation and make it yours. Revel in something small- that normally would never even make you smile, but that is pretty cool. Let it overwhelm you and grace your day. Be happy because you know that it is your choice. Look at those sticky notes and make them your dance in the rain of your sunny day. Don't forget that that it is only with the combination of sunny and rain that rainbows happen- and that they are a promise.
