One Clear Dot

It is hurricane season again. Although nothing even close to frightening has blown through here yet this year, we have had some impressive and much needed thunder storm this past week. The rain is what we needed, actually. The thunder and lightening were nice for the added drama, though.

Today I pulled up the blinds, pushed the curtains aside and then just sat and watched the wind whip around the leave on the trees in the backyard. I love a good storm. Since my daughter was not home, I was able to relax and just let the rain falling on the back porch roof calm my nerves. It’s been a rough couple of days emotionally and I needed the break from all the thinking I have been forced to do.

The sound of rain has always made me feel calm. When I lived up north and we would have weeks and weeks of rain on end, it was not the actually wetness that got me down. Rather, it was the lack of sunlight we had in the mountains in the wintertime. The rain, though, almost buoyed me back up to normal.
