Spring Showers

Well today has been the second day for the torrential downpour that we have been receiving here in Dallas. I haven't seen the sun since Monday. Some people want it to end but if it was up to me, and it wouldn't cause flooding I would have it to rain everyday. The air seems so clean afterwards and the world looks purified through my eyes. All the weight of the world just rushing down the street into the storm drain. When its raining outside everyone seems more relaxed and at ease. Maybe due to sleepiness, but at rest just the same.

Work seems to be torture during rainy days. I have no windows in my office but I can hear it tap dancing on the roof, which makes it hard to bear. I just want to run out there and dance in it. Maybe baptize myself all over again. But it'll be my luck that I take a running start and slip and fall in a puddle that’s filled with rain water and motor oil. Sometimes I can find humor in my own clumsiness. I love this time of the year its almost as euphoric as the Indian summers.

I love to take time out and see the small things that make this life all worth it. I enjoyed the rain, picked up my entire family and made it home safely without one person sliding into me or me into them. Nothing breath taking really happened today but the rain was a welcoming sight to this old dry land. I mean that literally and physically.


My 5 Euphoric things today:
5. Lunch for cheap
4. A wet Wednesday
3. Gabrielle's recital this evening
2. Friday Eve
1. The tap dancing rain
