Whatever the Weather

Its better together.... the weather that is. At the baseball tournament for my kids on Saturday we were dumped on. Torrential rain. More rain than I have seen or felt in such a long time. The feeling of being totally wet, shoes sloppy, and recognizing more wet isnt really an issue... is a good thing. The hoots and tee hee's as little kids ran for the grandstands. The leaping and re-routing around parking lot rivers is always fun when you have a giggling child beside you. Yet one more reason to appreciate having your kids around. They ground you, keep you in the moment, and allow you to laugh at the moment at hand.

Sunday came with mid-night storms and a lovely coolness in the morning. As the day went on the sun shone and I felt great. Ideas bursting from my head, begging to be paid attention to. At work, at play, everywhere. Whatever the weather, there is joy to be found. Happiness in the moment. People around you who bring new insight and possibilities.

Uncertain is life. Transition is constant or we would be stagnant. Can I predict tomorrow or the next? Not likely, and since I have made hard choices I feel like I am being true and that ahead of me is nothing I cannot handle. That is a good feeling.
