This weekend, my friend was supposed to meet me up at U street to go eat some Peruvian food. He told me he was running late so I decided to go into a Rite Aid to pass the time. I figured browsing through the hallmark cards would be an entertaining way to pass the time.
I started reading the funny cards first and moved on to the love and birthday cards. As I read each card, I tried to think of people that I can give the cards to. Of course I was not going to send any cards, I just wanted to connect the card to someone in my life.
Out of all the cards, one stood out to me. In the front it stated, "Into every life, a rain must fall" with a picture of dark clouds and rain. And in the inside it said, "So, think of me as your Umbrella" and it had a kid in the middle of the rain covered by an umbrella with the sun slightly popping out of the dark clouds. I have to admit, the first thing I thought about was the Rihanna song, "Umbrella" haha.
For some strange reason, that card made me really happy. I know it is just a generic card and no one meant it to go to me, but for some strange reason, I liked it a lot. I started to think of the people that would be holding that umbrella for me....and who I would be holding that umbrella for. For about 5 minutes I felt as if time stood still as I daydreamed about friendships and umbrellas. I was in hallmark messaging heaven. Afterward, it put me in a happier state of mind.
I am glad my friend took longer than expected because I would not have ventured into Rite Aid and read that message. Funny how the most random things can change your attitude.
Afterward, I had some amazing Peruvian food and went about my weekend :)
Holding an umbrella for you,
