for the beauty of the earth
This morning I took a deep breath, looked out the window and said, "I want to go on a walk down to the gas station and get me some dr. pepper. Maybe some chocolate and gum too."
Okay, maybe it didn't exactly happen like this, but I did get an urge to go on a walk. The destination and objectives came along as I awaited my chance to pack Lexie up, and head on out. I never eralize how hard it can be to be trapped in a house for a week until I get these random urges, that have no real purpose. I mean I don't need chocolate and gum, we have chocolate in the pantry. As for Dr. Pepper? It would probably have been better for me to go get some vitamin water instead.
I'm glad I went, though. Lexie and I went there and back again, her looking adorable in her little pink bucket hat, and me wearing make up for the first time in a while. The cashier was very nice even though I held up the line a little.
But the part that made me truly glad I followed my impulse, was the view on the way home. Never before have I seen such cloud formations as I have in Miami. Today included. The sky was rotund with great puffy clouds, with sun rays bouncing hither thither to create values like you've never seen. Majestic is the only word I can think to describe it. If anyone could discover Mt Olympus, these are the clouds that I imagine would be surrounding it.
Now, just barely home from the little walk, it's started to rain. Isn't that amazing? Those clouds held their magnificence just long enough for me to behold them, and now it's pouring forth onto the earth so that it might be enjoyed by everyone. *sigh* TGIF, indeed. I couldn't have asked for a more blessed morning.
love,

p.s. on a lighter note, I was pranked this morning, and I think you all should be a part of it. Prank
