November 15, 2005

Pretty rainy here at this time and supposed to continue most of the day. It is good that the rain is here now and not Thursday night when the forecast is for temperatures to be around 16 degrees. I don't need a big reason but the cold and the hernia operation should suffice to allow me to sit for long spells in the old recliner without a hint of nagging guilt.

I had a flash of sadness awhile ago. As I looked out the window the rivulets of rain interrupted my view and as my focus changed to some of them, I was reminded of tears. Tears are usually for sad occasions but as I struggled with the feeling, the knowledge that tears are sometimes shed at very happy times too came to bare. Whew! After all that I've ended up somewhere in the middle. That middle is probably the normal state for most of us.

As I sure you can see I've still nothing worthwhile to type so I'm going to quit fighting it this morning.

The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.~John Milton
