It is raining. It is a soft, sweet rain and it is making my already fabulous day - even more so.After dropping my child off at school and doing a few very important "work" errands - I was able to meet a friend for lunch. It was one of those lunches that ranks up there for me...loads of laughter, great food...the only thing wrong with it was that it ended.
One time, another friend and I met up and actually sat from lunch to dinner in a restaurant. We were having so much fun chatting and laughing and catching up we didn't even notice the shift change and the darkening sky. I would have liked for today to have been that way -- just to sit and laugh and talk from one meal to the next.
Of course, that did not happen -- I had a child to fetch and my friend had to return to work, so life continued on.
Oh...I hear thunder rumbling in the distance... I love that sound, soon the rain will be plip ploping on my roof...what a great afternoon.
On the way home, Hannah Joy and I stopped at the grocery store for a few items, and I could not resist buying a bunch of purple tulips. They are beautiful and it makes me so happy to see them drooping over the edge of the vase.
Like last Tuesday, when I marked my body to remember a great personal epiphany...I think these purple tulips or any I happen upon in the future are going to remind me of this day. Just an ordinary day, filled with fun, a friend and lots of laughter.
Even housework can't cancel out this happy moment!!
