Rain

Yesterday we had around five minutes of heavy rain, and supposedly to day we'll get more. Rain is one of those weathers that brings my imagination to surface level, and I've taken advantage of that today by adding another potential thousand words to my FYP. I've been reading as well recently, and all in all, I'm feeling a little more productive than I have been for most of the summer.

In other news it's only ten days until my darling Mark is again in the country. This brings me back to a previous blog post I made at the end of June. I was nervous back then and it showed in the post. This time though I'm looking forward to the visit with the added benefit of knowing this is going somewhere and perhaps even hint of the knowledge that this could last a lifetime. The next few months will not be easy, with the next gap in visits being probably at least two months. However, I will make the most of this visit, and I know that he will too.

The rain for me, also brings thoughts of growth, and I certainly hope that this academic year I will take all the chances I can when it comes to growing in the way I need to in order to make the best of myself. I have been known to stick to my comfort zone in the past and I want to change that. Of course this means that the confidence in me needs to be nurtured. In the past few years, certainly, it has been beaten down severely, and now that Mark has started to look after it again I should start to as well. After all, it's my mindset that needs to change. Had I not been so unsure, it wouldn't have been able to be beaten down in the first place.

In the five minutes that it rained for yesterday, I took some pictures. I'll leave you with my two favourites.

Enjoy the view. :)
