The Tempest

No, not the film. On Saturday evening, I just went out for a walk in the evening. All normal, no rain. Prayed a bit and said something (don’t actually remember the original phrase so I keep making a new one every time I say it): “Lord, give me the grace to accept the things I cannot change and the courage to change the ones I can”.

1 minute after I said this, it started raining, really, really strong. Then the wind just became incredible (my umbrella really suffered from that). It just looked like a tempest. It went on for 5 minutes, but it just looked to go on for ages.

I was able to hold on to the umbrella and come back home, safe and sound.

What did I learn from this?

I learnt that for one, just writing a simple “A bit shocked you can’t come.” in an SMS can prove to be an incredible mistake. I also learnt that I sometimes over-analyse and lose track of what’s going on...

Yes, you might be wondering if this is a true story... it actually is.

“Just RELAX” – I keep saying to myself. “Just RELAX!”
