Up

We sat out on the front porch watching the storm whoosh in Sunday afternoon. Straight up and sideways lightning, rolling thunder. Wind gusts and pounding rain. If we ever have a tornado, Dan and I will be sucked right up into the stratosphere because we'll be watching it blow in. Sarah told me that she'd been fiercely missing Olympia lately. The overcast, the mists, the lake - and the constant temperatures. Then the storm rolled in. They don't have thunder storms in Olympia. Or such big, big skies. If you're out at 4AM, you'll see an incredible number of shooting stars too. We can have anything, but we can't have everything. So we need to make lots of peace and awe deposits into our savings account. Partly so we have it to use later, but mostly so that doing it becomes automatic. Fish till we ache, pull weeds, surf the wind, run, look up. We'll need those moments when we're in the midst of storms. Wishing you the pleasure of a good storm and a big, big sky. XOXO
