#13 - Rainy Days

Written a few days ago~

It's not the best weather for running the never-ending errands that are on the "must be done by Christmas" list, but it is great weather for opening the blinds and watching the gray skies and the falling rain. Listening to the thunder. Feeling the chill of the December air. Sitting on the couch after a busy morning with a book and a dog or two while hearing little boys laugh and play upstairs. It's a great time for taking time to look at my Christmas tree to see which ornaments of the 20-year old collection jump out at me today. For taking a moment to pause. And remember. And feel the emotion that that ornament provokes. It's good weather to slow down amidst the busyness of the season and exhale. And remember what this season is all about. Or is supposed to be all about. Peace.
