Summer Rain

.Rainy Days were Meant for Reading.

This week God decided that it was finally time for San Antonio to get some rain. In celebration of this wonderful summer rain I decided to start a new book; something I haven't done in a very long time. My selection? The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd; a fascinating little story about a woman who falls in love with a monk.

I sat there curled up in the big green chair in the corner of our living room using only the light from the rain clouds outside to illuminate the pages in my hands. I listened to the sounds of the rain drops pelting our tin roof while my puppy slept peacefully in my lap as I read. I can't remember the last time I felt so at ease with the world.

.It was truly magical.
