Ever Notice ?
There I was, tennies tied, sunglasses on, ready to step out that door
and ….
!! hey !!
who said anything about rain this morning !??!
gaaaaaa.
but sure enough, a glance at the radar and there hunkered an isolated green/yellow blob, all random and colorful and !! SURPRISE !!
Perturbed, but locked-in, I dropped Husband off at his exercise place, grabbed my Bears bucket hat, orange umbrella and decided to give it a go …
& yay.
!! YaY !!
’cause …
have you ever notice clouds right after a storm,
& that funky way the trees, the ground, actually everything, looks ?
As if a quiet anticipation is covering the atmosphere.
Wait.
Wait.
We’re not quite sure if we’re done yet
or
the scent of rain ?
uh-huh
Indescribably. Delightful.
or
how life looks so clean, so refreshed afterwards ?
Like a good cry.
The hurt, the pain, the ugly is washed away
or
how after each and every storm, the sun appears, however briefly, with her subtle, forever reminder ?
Yep.
No worries.
I got this.
& puddles ?
Have you ever noticed those simple, wonderful puddles ?
Like mirrors on the grass and sidewalk, reflections of our world.
Combined with the look of joy on the faces of other human beings, who decided to chance the rain with a Saturday a.m. walk in the park … ??
wow.
just WoW.
THISCLOSE, I came, to talking myself out.
Happy, I went.
Grateful, I noticed.
