Number Eight

I'm singing in the rain, 
Just singing in the rain!
What a glorious feeling,
I'm happy again!

Number Six

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears 
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears 
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun 
A new day has...come

Let the rain fall down
and wake my dreams.

Grandma Marjorie

I was thinking about people that I admire and love today and I remembered that last week would have been my Grandma Marjorie's 94th birthday. 

My Grandma Marjorie was the kind of woman that everyone loved. You couldn't help but love her. She was this tiny lady who was always smiling and giving hugs. She was always there to listen or lend a hand if you needed it, even when she was 90 years old. Every birthday or any holiday anyone she knew, it seemed like to me, would receive a card with a cute little note and, my favorite part, her signature on it. 

When I was little I would always say "Grandma Marjorie, when I grow up I want to be JUST LIKE YOU!" And to this day I do. I really do want to be the kind of person who is able to love anyone and everyone for who they are, like she did. I want to be able to always keep my anger at a bare minimum like she did. I want to reach out to my family and friends no matter how far away I am from them like she did. I made a video for her funeral with a song in it that I think describes her to a T. It is called "She" by Cherie Call. 

I am so grateful to have had such an amazing example in my life. And though my card didn't quite make it on time, Happy Birthday Grandma Marjorie. 

Rain: Number Four

I just found this one and I think it is great!

A crown is simply a hat that lets the rain in.
