thunder

we all need thunder in our lives. 

thunder is loud 
and we feel can feel it physically rumble through us. 

thunder is the noise of the impressive lightening. 

Where does thunder go when it dies?” ― Ray Bradbury

thunder is the impetus for change in your life. 

thunder storms rip through the night, like change can rip through your life. 

“I hate it when storm clouds roll in, heralded by dazzling claps of thunder and lightning that boast an ocean of tears. This majestic performance of bad temper manages to overshadow my pathetic attempts at pouting. No one broods like Mother Nature, hence she steals all the attention I was sulking after.” ― Richelle E. Goodrich

"no one broods like mother nature" ... let me tell you, i can brood and grump and be grubly and grosh like mother nature. i can thunder with the best of them. my bad temper and grubly mood doesn't knock over trees or knock out the electricity thankfully. 

“Only one thing that you can see and hear that is beautiful and frightening at the same time, and that is a thunder storm.” ― R.K. Cowles

thunder shakes the house tonight as the rain pours down on the skylight, drowning out the noise of the night. thunder is rolling through the city. 

It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.Frederick Douglass

we need the thunder to wake us up sometimes. we need to be shaken out of our complacency. we need to feel the power of the storm in our lives in order to find our footing. 

sometimes we need the rug pulled out from under us in order to discover the potential in our lives. 

Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.Mark Twain

the light inside of you shines through the thunder around you. lightening is the awesome power behind the thunder. and you have an awesome power inside of you, despite what changes are happening in your life. 

i have written several times that i hate change. i rail against change like thunder rails against the stillness and silence of the night. 

but nosy nora pointed out that i have spent the last 2 years in therapy making changes to myself and my life. 

changes that i am choosing to make. 

so change isn't all bad. 

even when it comes thundering in when you get a new boss who thunders through the halls making unwanted changes. 

even when it comes thundering in with the dissolution of a friendship or a relationship. 

change is what moves us forward in life. 

change isn't all bad. and you can quote me on that. 

be kind to yourself, 

xoxo
