Thunder

The song Thunder by Leona Lewis has turned in a way into what Fight Song by Rachel Platten previously held for me.
A woman rising from the ashes and becoming stronger.
Just go to listen to it

I have never really feared thunder.
Whenever there is a rainstorm I like to open my windows and hear the rain and thunder.
I also think the sound a bassoon makes in its deeper register is similar to that of a rumble of thunder.

Well Thursday started out with having the absolute best substitute ever for the Indy.
And our day was immediately brightened by the fact that we got to have just her all to ourselves for a few hours.
My day is automatically better whenever she blesses us with her presence in that class.

But she is a fighter and if she definitely has fought with a power of thunder.
Thundering her way through chemo, all the challenges she has faced and then fighting to get back to us.

She also was there with a listening ear.
About the trouble we've been having with the new adviser.

And even though I wanted to join the band wagon and yes I did get my ass handed to me by her last week.
Everyone does not like her and was complaining about her unorthodox ways and having to transition to someone new.
BUT
I took the high road.
Be proud parental units, you raised me well.

I quoted something my mom had told me last week about having to deal with this change of advisers.
That we may not like her but its a good learning experience for the future and having to work with difficult bosses.
That this is all a good learning experience
And even though I got some grumbles I think we all realized that this is temporary.

Our beloved adviser will be back.
The other one is a learning opportunity.

And I was the one that brought the silver lining in this storm.
Hell yes.
