Renewal

What a delightfully delicious, rainy Saturday! It is as dark as evening time and not even noon. It is not the vicious sort of rainstorm that sends darting glances towards the heavens and thoughts of dashing to the basement. It is the happy therapeutic sort of storm with thunder in surround sound. This always sends me to the porch where I take refuge in the swing. Here I can soak in the sounds of pouring rain and watch birds flit from tree to tree, happily singing their gratitude for a cool bath. When the breeze kicks up and sends a mist through the screens, I close my eyes and let the newness that a rain brings wash over me. This renews my mind and spirit.

Dear Blog -

I have thought about meeting you for quite some time now. The time is finally right. I look forward to our days ahead as I pour out my thoughts onto your virtual pages.

Everyone says that this is my little chance to tell the world what I want to tell it. I'm not quite sure the world wants to know what I have jumping around in my head, or that my fingers could even type it all! We will give it our best shot though. (My fingers, my thoughts, and I.)

Goodnight Blog.
Goodnight World.
