Beginning a New Day in Blogville

It's a rainy day here in San Francisco. The rain is cleansing the City and it's cleansing me. There are many reasons for me to run outside to do errands, revisit the City after coming back from a week-long vacation or just be in the presence of people. But I don't feel like it - not in this rain and not the way I feel right now. A couple things are happening in my life - my mom's going through an episode in her life, I may be laid off from my job soon. With a rainfall of emotions going through me, I need to express myself, put my words and feelings out there without imposing on anyone. Life is what you make it, right? My mom needs to work through her issues herself, she needs to make herself happy. I can't do that for her. If I get laid off, I'm planning vacations to take me out of my element, put me back in touch with my true roots, get me out of here, may give me the best moments of my life, put it on the credit card, I don't care. A gift if you will. Thoughts in flight. I wish it would rain harder in the meantime.
