Why is it with when it rains it pours (Ike’s). Over the last 3 months I have had my car broken into twice, my window subsequentky repaired twice, my son has had four high fevers through teething his entire set in the course of 2 months, key snapped in lock, partner ill with mystery bug, dimmer switch broke in bedroom, petrol ran out due needle stuck on signal, rose got blackspot – I could go on …. but I won’t because I am in a transitional period of self awareness.

I have decided to choose my attitude, to have a playful demeanor (I’m loving Dupo at 5.15am these days), to be present for my son, family, work and responsabilities (this one’s been an ever present) and to make someones day everyday.

Question Have I been watching cheesey development videos?

Answer Yes

Question Is there truth in this philosophy?

Answer - Most definately.

However you might want to phrase it ‘it pours when it rains’ because you let it. You become more atuned to all that is grim around you and in turn it becomes attracted and more interested in you (like Araf in Dark Materials I suppose)

When you choose the enlightened route in times of hardship you are blessed with humour, when you make someones day you share their joy and when you are present you vanquish your worries. Most importantly when you play you get better value out of buying your son Duplo.
