I love cloudy, rainy mornings. We don't get many here in Tucson, but we had thunderstorms all night that are just now beginning to clear. So I had a nice walk to my favorite neighborhood Bruegger's bagel shop, got breakfast for the family, and had some memorable ordinary moments:
- Smelling the freshness of the rain, reminding me to pay attention to each step I take...
- Touching the wet Red Bird of Paradise in my front yard, reminding me that water is essential to life...
- Saying good morning to Cliff and Linda on their way home from the Oro Valley Farmer's Market (remember Cliff?), reminding me of friends along the way...
- Hearing the huff and puff of the beginning jogger passing me ever so slowly, reminding me of the air I breathe...
- Seeing a circle of rain-battered pink oleander blossoms on the ground around the bush, reminding me that there is a time for every season...
- Tasting the Bruegger's everything bagel with plain cream cheese, reminding me that food is good...
(bagels are truly bread from heaven...)
