Evening Fine SuperForesters

Yes, Dolphins are undeniably Awesome, but so is the walrus! When I told Sophie that I wanted to share this with SuperForest, she told me in turn that she’d found it on ffffound.com thanks entirely to Carla’s inspiring recent post – Biggest Thanks Carla! :)
I then re-visited ffffound myself and, appropriately enough at the beginning of this wonderful wet weekend, came across this image under the banner “this isn’t happiness”:
It transpires that “this isnt happiness” wasn’t a commentary on the above, but rather a great photo blog, but nonetheless, looking at the rain on my window, it hit some kind of chord with me. Later I started my usual walk home – a bit of rain isn’t unusual here and, despite an irrational aversion to umbrellas, I don’t let it put me off. Five minutes in the heavens opened – real, bouncing of the pavement, rivers in the gutter stuff – and within six minutes I was properly to-the-skin wet. I started by berating myself for the foolish walking plan, then futilely shaking my fist at the skies…but this was followed by sharing a sheepish grin with my other ill-judged pedestrians, laughing at the absurdity of our appearances and endeavour – and I thought, nope – the picture above isn’t happiness, but this is:

Yep, looking up, embracing the abundance and the inevitable (and experiencing, not ignoring, my squelching feet), I felt pretty happy. And my dry clothes and cup of tea now feel and taste that much sweeter. I guess, as ever, it’s all about the perspective.
Happy Friday SuperForest,
Love
