Tears Fall Like Rain...
...is the title of this beautiful song that I was trying to upload this morning. It was written by a friend of my friend and is soo lovely. I read something on Minxie's blog that caused me to remember it and this photo. So as a reminder to myself and so many others who have been in the fire lately, I was remembering the many times I have found beauty and meaning in the midst of my dark days.
Somehow, after I failed to get the song up I'd forgotten I'd titled the post Tears Fall Like Rain and thought I'd let the pic speak for itself! So sorry if I worried any of you!!!
Yes, times are tough, but as Minxie said, I've much to be greatful for and am acknowledging the beauty around me...

Love you, girl. You know I'm here.
Hey love.... sending you love and light and huge hugs!!!!
Smile love, it makes people wonder what you've been up to! ;)
You have been there for me and I am here for you!!!!!
Shakes,
I love ya girl. You are such a treasure in my life. I know what it is like to have the rough patches, but it certainly helps to know that you are not alone and a lot of people care.
In the immortal words of Mariah Carey:
When you get caught in the rain
With nowhere to run
When you’re distraught
And in pain without anyone
When we keep crying out
To be safe
But nobody comes
And you feel so far away
That you just can't find you way home
you can get there alone
it's okay
once you say
I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I'll make it through the rain
And if you keep falling down
Don’t you dare give in
You will arise safe and sound
So keep pressing on steadfastly
And you’ll find what you need to prevail
Once you say is
I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain
And when the wind blows
And shadows grow close
Don’t be afraid
There’s nothing you can’t face
And should they tell you
You’ll never pull through
Don’t hesitate
Stand tall and say
I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I'll make it through the rain

What's wrong hun? I have been AWOL for quite some time, and now I am back in full swing LOL
Hope you feel better soon!
You are absolutely the dearest sweetest women! Rachel, what a beautiful song!! You've touched my heart deeply...
I set out this morning trying to celebrate the way beauty shows up in the midst of trouble and screwed it all up!
In the end you all showed me exactly the same thing...
I'm humbled and amazed and very, very greatful for you all!
I'm also laughing out loud at myself this very moment which is also quite good medicine!!! LMAO!
I love you guys too...
Shake,
I echo what everyone has said here. Although, we've never met, your sweet & loving personality shines through the words you write.
The photograph of the rain on the glass with the beautiful flowers in the background is so lovely.
That photograph is a pondering piece. I am actually mesmerized by it.
I hope your day is going better and it is a wonderful feeling to know how many of us are feeling the same bit of angst AND that we are here to hold each other up.
Sending you lots of love and hugs,
C
Hooray Betty!! :D
Now quit scaring us by posting mysterious blogs about tears. ;) hehe
Now you can tell how much we love you ladybug! :)
(I don't know why I just called you a lady bug but I did!) :P
Have a happy night sweetness--hey why do I always feel the need to give Betty a pet name hmmm??
oh, I have been busy selling everything I own except cats, child and husband (rethinking some of the above) hope you are okay...
I am sending you lots of love and hugs and so is Dillinger...you know, of all my cats he is the one that calms me the most, loves me the most, greets me, purrs me, and just has this huge amount of love, and he must have learned that from his first momma, which would be you.
I ather like Ladybug, DJ! ;)

Sorry, chica-had me an extremely busy day and meant to pop a comment on for you, but then got waaaayyyy behind for getting to work on time and didn't get the sunshine put out for you.
[hands Shakes a basket of daisies]
Enjoy the sunshine. And, by golly, enjoy the tears too. They are cleansing and necessary.
I'm right here if you need me. :)
Shakes-You are a great person. I only met you twice, but I could tell that you were a kind and genuine soul in those meetings. You also write very kind things to others on the various blogs.
Keep your head up and remember all the good things in your life. I am here for you to talk to as well.
Shakes, you are surrounded with loving friends. Tears, ie emotion... it has the word motion in it...LOL.
