List #226: Rain and Thoughts on Wednesdays

I woke up this morning to the sound of rain hitting my apartment's windows. There was a heavy chill in the air and because I worked the late shift at the library, I got to burry down deep inside my blankets, let the cat cuddle up beside me, and drift off to a morning lie-in. It was nothing short of glorious.

I've probably admitted numerous times before that I much prefer this type of day (cool, grey, slightly rainy) than to a scorcher of heat and humidity. Quite honestly, it felt like perfection. And the only thing missing were the people, big and tiny, that I miss in the morning.

It was a good morning for a soak in the tub, some fall reading, and thinking.

I thought of lots of things this morning:

• New friends
• Hard work
• Saying sorry
• How to be a better friend
• Old lovers
• Scarves and sweaters
• Ways to keep my cat happy
• London in autumn
• Leftover vacation days
• Moving on up and over
• Sign language
• Sororities
• Deep lines
• Cooing

Here's to autumn days, falling leaves, and memories that make us happy for the present and eager for the future.
