Rain and sunshine

It's been quite a week... I won't go into sordid detail, but suffice it that sometimes I find my duties in life much harder to carry out than at other times. This too, shall pass...

On a brighter note, I've found some smiles among this community and outside it as well - and the rain looks so lovely when the sun hits it. I can look out two different windows from where my computer is, seeing rain and sunshine gilding every tree bough with diamonds and mist in the day. With the sunrise, the blossoms on the fruit trees shine with such a beauty, and at sunset the colors glide through the trees in the back and blaze upon the stone of the fireplace, making it sparkle as it does at no other time. The clouds are low over the mountain but always changing in the wind, and every time the sun breaks through after the times of grey, it stuns me anew. The poplars shine with baby-new leaves in the palest of golden-green...The bluebells are coming up so thick, white and purple and blue and green, I feel as if I am living in a Monet painting at times.

Thank you all, for just *being*. (((flist)))
