When Happiness is Just a Few Steady Rays

March 14, 2011 by jeannem32

It’s not that never taking my jacket off is a problem.  We’ve bonded.  It’s just that occasionally, I’d like to look out the window here in western Washington and see the sun.  Not the clouds with the sun somewhere behind them.  Not a picture of the sun my daughter’s drawn from memory.

THE. SUN.

Because I realized last week that though we’d traded one cold place for another, the eastern Washington sun blinding us through the windshield made just about anything tolerable.

“Son, you gotta puke again?  No problem. Watch me clean it with a smile.”

“Popcorn for dinner?  Sounds great.”

“Gas costs four bucks a gallon?  Heh…well, why not?”

It’s just that we’re home now, and it ain’t stopped raining–save for the momentary tease when it’s appeared to not be raining, but is indeed still raining. 

Which isn’t to say that being perpetually soggy ain’t the greatest thing…

for a frog.

But for me…I be dreamin’ of a few steady rays…and the hanger that’ll hold my jacket.

    I just read this to Bob. We both (okay, watch the text expert)
    LOL! :0) I so long to have a hanger right next to yours with
    my coat on it. Oh Jeanne, you are so funny and you take my mind on picture excursions so love.

    Jeanne,
    This post reminds me of the way I have been feeling about the rainy days. I need sun! I am waiting for my hummingbirds to show up. Last year the first showing was early March. So I believe soon I will have a big smile and thanking God for bringing them back for my enjoyment.

    Love,
    Jan

    Come to AZ Munson’s… The rays are always shining, even when you don’t want them too. It’s just not fair, it’s too sunny in our little spot of the world, and it’s too rainy in yours. Seriously, come visit some time, you won’t want to leave… well… until the temps hit the 120 degree mark anyway. Then you just smile and fry an egg on your sidewalk. Love and kisses… Aunt (sunnyside up) Sandy

      Omygoodness…need your sun, Aunt Sandy. Or something close…like being warm again!
