It is another rainy day today and so I find myself at the computer pondering what to write about, "wet" to write about... ironic, I can't seem to find even a drop of inspiration! The only thing hitting me right now is the thought that I have never seen it rain so hard for such a prolonged period of time! It is so wet our driveway is now the pool we have always wanted, and the birds are carrying umbrellas! I am not exaggerating, I figured you would be skeptical, so I've included a picture.
Stay with me though and I shall see if inspiration can be called upon, you know like a spirit from the dead. Hold on, I am calling forth my creativity, wait, wait... I am sensing something trying to get through, yes, it is a bit blurry, but, wow, I am seeing someone who looks a lot like Ellen Degeneres dressed up like a sailor! She is on a beautiful yacht beckoning me to come on board. She is handing out little Ellen life jackets and tiny Ellen rain coats. She is telling me it is her show boat and that there are no rain cheques if I don't go now, what to do, what to do. I am usually shy around celebrities, but really, could I live with myself if I turned down a tiny rain coat?
I have decided to go on board, Ellen is so happy she signals her DJ, ( a giant duck ) to play raindrops keep falling on my head. Ellen dances down the ramp, gives me a hug, and tells me not to worry. "Did you really think you had lost your creativity?" she laughs, "it's definitely alive and well, cause I sure as heck, am not here!!"
A sinking feeling in my gut tells me she is right, and even though I will probably never get another opportunity to get a tiny rain coat, I will not let my spirits be dampened, back to my muddy pool of thoughts...
Rainy days
give us the opportunity
find the sunshine within,
but...
I would still love this "reign" to end!
