What inspired the name of my blog?

As you are viewing this blog, you may be wondering why I named it Gentle Drops of Joyful Rain?

Two reasons, which I will discuss further in this post:

• I love the rain
• This is a line in a song that I love

     Whenever it rains or gets cloudy, I am at my happiest. All of my worries seem to float away. I love cold and somewhat humid weather which I get rarely where I live. To me, when rain clouds make the sky go dark, I feel cozy and safe. I hate it when the sun is out and shining, everything is too bright and hot. Also, rain smells AMAZING to me, it is such a fresh and relaxing smell.

     The words Gentle Drops of Joyful Rain are part of a wonderful line in a song that I love. The song is called Falling by Eric Loren. The stanza that my line is in goes like this;

Forgive me

Cause I've forgiven you

And wipe away your tears of pain

To gentle drops of joyful rain

For me, that specific set of lyrics are so true, and they mean something to me. I am not entirely sure why. I also love how instead of saying to stop crying, it says to make those tears happy tears instead of sad ones. I hate it when people tell me to stop crying, and if they said that instead, I would feel so much better. Overall, the song is very beautiful. If you would like to read the lyrics, click here. If you want to hear the full song, click here. The first link is to Eric Loren's page, so you can check out the rest of his songs and read a little about him there.

I also have family ties to Eric Loren. He is my fourth cousin, I believe. I think his grandmother was my grandmother's sister or something like that. My Mom has photos of her with him when they were younger, along with his brother. His Dad and Mom email each other sometimes.

If you didn't know, Eric Loren is also an actor. He was in a Doctor Who episode as Mr Diagoras. I LOVE Doctor Who, so I was pretty much shocked when I found out that my fourth cousin was the first human Dalek. Like whoa cus, that is hardcore. 

That about wraps it up! You have any questions or comments on this post then comment below! I love to hear what you explorers of the internet have to say. Bye for now!
