It Rained Today

Finally it rained. It didn't rain a great deal. It rained just enough to leave a small puddle in my driveway and to wash some of the dirt off my car. It rained just enough to flood one of the streets in a section of Las Vegas where they are building new homes. The water in that area covered enough of the street to cause traffic to slow down.

It rained today. It waited until I came home from work and it rained. I suppose this is a lesson in patience. Sixteen days in to July, sixteen days into the monsoon season and it rained. This just goes to prove that if you wait and pray long enough from something, then it is going to occur, at least, when it comes to the weather anyway. However, I suspect that lesson applies to anything in a person's life.

It rained today. The humidity is still a bit high, but not noticeable in the house. There is still a cloud cover, which promises more rain to come. The weatherperson didn’t predict any more rain, but the clouds look as if it could rain again any minute.

Before it rained today, I heard a few claps of thunder. I didn't see any lightening, but I heard thunder. I heard the rain hitting the cement and the roof. I stood in my front door and I watched the rain. I even made an entry in my gratitude journal about the rain.

It rained today
showers fell on Las Vegas,
making the day cooler
and giving the sweltering city
much needed relief.
