Embracing The Rain

That familiar sound of rain gently pelting the condominium siding coaxed me out of sleep with a slowly spreading smile this morning.

"If it's raining, it ain't snowing," I like to say when that telltale sign of warmer weather first arrives. The radio alarm noted a high of 52 degrees today.

Somehow I found those gray skies comforting as I pedaled on the stationary bike at the gym and gazed out the massive windows.

I walked into the tutoring center leisurely, head up, welcoming the steady drizzle and even the 30 mph winds that forced my eyes shut. My jacket and face were slick when I got indoors, and I felt great.

This is spring. This is new life. This is worth embracing.
