rain......

It started to really pour during the night. I love storms.....the wind raging....the elements.......the smell of the rain.....the cooler breeze......the sound of the rain as it hits the windows, the tin pipes on my furnace and fan in the bathroom.

A lot continues to evolve in my life....perhaps this will be a year for huge changes....and that as Martha would say......"is a good thing."

We had 2 days of gloriously unseasonably warm temperatures. I am thankful for those days. I am even more thankful for this glorious night and morning of rain. It is the ultimate for snuggling weather. I am thankful for my damn good cup of coffee. I am thankful for being passionate....even though many might consider me semi-crazy. I embrace it. ALL I have been through has made me what I am today. I am reclaiming MELINDA...something that is long overdue.

The neighbor's flag on the flagpole is flying straight out in the wind! I hear my windchimes tinkling out front. Occasionally the wind sneaks through my window and makes a delicious howling sound...almost what you would expect a ghost dog to sound like. No moon tonight though I know it is there.

Life goes on....whether we choose to be in it or not.....it always finds a way.

I choose to be in it...
