Rain

Today was one of those days when the pressure is so great it feels like someone is standing on your chest.  I guess the entire last week was like that if I stop to think about it. There are just never enough hours in the day and work always seems to take up two too many.   Then I went to feed the chickens and pull a few weeds.  It's amazing how quickly the stress can just melt away. When I got done,  I stood for a while facing the sky with the heavy rain drops falling on my face, breathing in the clean air.  I know I've complained about the rain lately... (there's just so much of it), but it was so refreshing, it just helped to wash away the stress with every drop.  I know jobs are necessary, and responsibility is a good thing, but there's nothing like the childlike act of playing in the rain to bring everything back into perspective.  I hope you enjoy the rain too.  Oh and if I post sometime in the future how sick I am of the rain, just remind me of this post.
