Puddles

I went for my walk this morning.  It was much colder than I anticipated.  I am realizing that I don't run as 'hot' as I used to!  I seem to be colder more often.  Hmmm.  What could that mean?  Nearing the 'end' of that lovely peri-menopausal phase perhaps?  Hallelujah!

When I left the sun was shining.  Very cool breeze.  I was alone with my thoughts (and I always have a lot of them) and didn't notice the sun had disappeared.  Then I felt it.  The predicted rain storm was starting.  Yikes.  I was only half done.  Turned around to go home, but even at that, by the time I got home I was drenched. 

At first I was annoyed.  But then I let go of that and found that I was laughing and enjoying my fate of the rain in my face and dripping off my eyelashes and nose and chin and fingertips.  I must have been a site to anyone driving by.  Oh well.

I even jumped in a puddle!  Hah!  I'm still as young as I feel, right?!

(Duff is in Utah.  Poor guy.  We just left and he was only home two days, but it was a last minute business meeting he had to be at and when they call you go.  Christine is out with friends for Emily's birthday and earlier had a lax tourney.  I ended up not going because my throat is threatening again.  Could it be the little escapade in the rain this morning???  I made a fabulous new recipe for a weekday pot roast.  We all decided it is a keeper.  Easy! And served with some hot buttered, parslied noodles.  Hit the spot.  Mike put a fire in the fireplace and it is a cozy night.)
