Kenzie Kaye: april showers bring may flowers??

this spring has been a late bloomer here in utah.

usually by this time of year, we are breaking out those shorts, putting on that sunscreen, and grabbing our swimsuits.

however, this year has been on the chilly side.

with plenty of rain showers and hailstorms.

as many of you know,

i am not a fan of the cold.

and this weather has been... not my friend.

but

after having all of these rainstorms, the rain got me thinking about something.

sometimes in life we feel like it rains

and other times we feel like it pours.

there are times we feel like we have a big dark cloud over us

pounding on us

and

weighing us down.

but there's something so beautiful about the rain.

because after it rains,

the grass gets greener.

the flowers start to bloom.

the sun comes out peepin'

and we see a rainbow.

i went on a hike the other day (on the first warm-ish day in WEEKS)

and i was in awe at how green everything was.

the mountain was full of greenery instead of dry, dull, yellow grasses.

there's a quote i love that says,

"the sun will rise and we will try again"

i love that quote so much because no matter how bad a day gets or how bad a "storm" in our life is for that matter...

there's always tomorrow.

and the rain won't last forever.

but because of that rain,

we can become something more.

if we let the rain help us grow instead of water us down and wash us out.

april showers really do bring may flowers.

even if it's more like a may rain and a june bloom.
