Rain. Mood. Reflections

Aah, rain!

Lots of it since yesterday afternoon. It went on and on through the night, and it scared me somehow, thinking there might be a typhoon coming. Thankfully, it stopped early in the morning (4 am). It sort of allowed the earth to breathe for some time, then it poured heavily again throughout the day. Sigh...

I should probably admit that no matter how I try to look at such weather differently, I still succumb to a depressive mood, just like today. It's not always, though. Because there are times when the rain brings a sense of coziness and comfort, making me sleep like a baby.

The funny thing is, the LilGuy seems to feel the same way. After breakfast this morning, he quietly climbed onto my lap and then lay his chin on top of the table, letting out a heavy sigh and staying like that for some time. The husband was amused. He was laughing as he took these snapshots.

It made me wonder if our fur babies can pick up on our moods or personality. Should they do, oh my! Just how much of my traits does this little boy mirror! He's so much like me since we are always together 24/7! That means I should be more mindful of my emotions and behavior if I want him to maintain a calm and collected demeanor.

Although I think it's not one-sided because he impacted me too. His sweet, loving, and warm nature had influenced me in some ways. I realized that I can express my feelings more freely. I now naturally display some affection publicly (PDA) these days (not in a vulgar way, i.e, quick smooches, hugs, etc). Well, the husband obviously appreciates it; he's quite the expressive type.😅

Anyway, to stop me from rambling even more, let me just share some reflection hunts at the food house last week.

"Let's take a pic," the hubby said, and our boy was game.

These were random shots while we were waiting for our food. The reflective glass walls mirrored our Yongi and other stuff, even the buildings in the distance.
