Rain

A dreary day today. My office has a nice enough view, when the sun is shining - Palm trees, nice landscaping, lots of cars in the parking lot and, if I stand up and lean over, a view of the lake (retention pond). Score!

But today, it was just gray.

Don't get me wrong, we need the rain, but the weather here in Florida usually provides a welcome respite from the otherwise dour news of the day. When it's 83 and sunny outside, IN JANUARY, it is easy to put the world's troubles at arm's length. Under the cover of clouded skies they sneak in close and grab hold.

But all is not lost, for I am about to leave for home. There my family sets the Sun back in the sky and chases away the lingering darkness.
