"Rain!"

There is something special about a rainy day to me! It's soothing, cleansing, thought provoking, reflective, and it can also be disruptive.
Like most things everything in moderation and beware of excess. In Arizona things seem to come to an abrupt halt, in some cases for no reason. Take the early morning ride to work---for no apparent reason I keep thinking there is an accident up ahead because traffic is barely moving and the drive time is always extended. This morning luckily, the accident never occurred.
Construction comes to a screeching stop, school buses run late, no one is quite sure how to dress,
and the sniffles seem to increase. Hence in Seattle nothing changes. Speaking of change, it reminds me that nothing ever stays the same...you either get better or worse.
The weather report says that we should expect a couple of dreary days. My plan is to make them cheery productive days...in other words "get better". Having said that, I like the "Rain".
