Rainy and gloomy

It's been raining all morning, and Theresa got on the bus in the rain. It wasn't raining when we walked to the road, but as soon as we got out there it began to rain harder and colder. I had a small coat on her to keep the rain off and dug one out of her bag to hold over my head. I have to buy myself a rain coat, and a new umbrella since the last one broke. It's starting to thunder now, and it's getting louder. I can't believe that we have therapy this afternoon.

I feel awful after standing out in the rain this morning. I'm tired as can be and I think I'm getting sick from standing out in the rain, I hope that Theresa doesn't. As a result of the rain I'm trying to write an article on things that can be done indoors to keep kids from being bored when it's raining outside. So far it's going very slowly. I can't manage to finish this article with my mind wandering so I'm going to go back and forth between them to see what I can find to write about.

Any subject ideas? I'm at a loss for words.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
