Recently I had an interesting few days as I found myself lying still whilst investing my energy into repairing my back. I have been reminded that lying still is not something I do well, especially as everyone around me dances, runs, walks and laughs their way around life. 
I took to exploring inspirational quotes and loved this one –
“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, It is about learning to dance in the rain.”
What I loved about this was the imperative of engaging with the present. I feel I have been an observer of life over the last few days and life for me is so much more about engaging! Some people find meditation re-energizes – what I have realized is I need to be present and engaged with people to feel alive. I love to embrace the storm of life and if that means dancing in the rain then count me in. I have had enough solitude these last few days to last me for the next ten years! We all cope and engage differently and I think it is vital we each find the way that brings out our best – so I am grateful for the last few days and the clarity it has created.
I lay listening to my daughters embracing their “storm” as they got stuck into cleaning their incredibly messy room – and I loved listening to them giggling and laughing with music turned up high as they danced their way through the storm. I just wanted to join in!
So how about you – does dancing in the rain work for you?
