Dodging Raindrops

I guess its safe to say there is no drought in this state any longer as we are hampered by daily rain. Beautiful in that everything is rich and green, complicated in trying to dodge rain for workout time. Most everything needs to be done before the afternoon storm. Don't get me wrong, a run in the rain is a great thing but not so much in the lightning and thunder!

I got a great ride in this morning on the horse. Its been a long time since I've let myself enjoy the simple pleasures of the things accesible to me. I tend to spend all my time working to maintain what I don't allow myself the time to enjoy. It was brilliant. When I finish this post I'm off for an 8 mile run. Its cloudy and the heat of the day is in full swing but I'm getting used to it and looking forward to it. The evening (if rain can be dodged) will include a long bike ride with a friend. Life is good :). Life is damn good :).

Isn't that really what life is? Dodging raindrops? Sometimes you can't dodge them and you are just gonna end up getting wet. Sometimes getting wet is going to make you cold and miserable, but if you change your perspective you can see it as "cooling off" and re-energizing for a second go. Bring on the rain!!!
