When it rains, it pours!

Well, California is under a bad spell of rainy days and colder nights. It has been wet, and in my case, flooded. It is everywhere!
Forget wearing heels for the next several days for that matter, the water has inundated our parking garage. Ankle high water is no longer a phenomenom. I have had it on a daily basis since Saturday! Man!
When you think California, you picture sunny with clear skies, with a little and here and there cold nights since it is January. Forget that - it has been soaking wet and I have been soaked down to my ankle boots in water and my wook jacket is damp and hair - a mess!
But the rain brings the much needed water in Southern California.
Water is always good. Complaining about the so seldom bad weather is almost a sport here in San Diego. It happens so rare that when we get rain...oh yeah...it pours!
The plants need it so badly. I guess I do not care so much for rainy days because I have been spoilt with the very good California weather. Forgive me for crabbing.
Tomorrow more rain is in the forecast but guess what after the weekend...all will be sunny and bright. So there you have it...the rainbow will show up this Monday and I cannot wait to see it.
Here's to Monday's very good forecast. Bright and sunny and honestly who doesn't like that?
Tomorrow, I 'll see y'all.
Toodles.

..and then she shows up!

Wow! Let me just say I shouldn't be blogging when tired. But, hey, if you can't blog when you are tired, when can you blog?
After Oct 6 2009, here I am at last..finally...por fin...in the blog world once again. And let me start a series of blog by expressing my gratitude to those who were concerned about my long absence. Thank you for caring. The notes were mighty sweet. (blush).
I am fine and all is well. I just need a good dose of reality check away from months of heartbreak. There is nothing time cannot heal. Pain, I found out is manageable after sometime. We let go and we move on. Or as I was so kindly advised...let the chips fall where they may. And that is a very sound advise.
Today's blog will mostly be to express my sincere gratitude to a few/handful followers that I have and especially to those who sent nice notes of encouragement. From the deep cockles of my heart..thank you very much.
I miss blogging. I had to control myself each time I get the urge to blog/blab about how my life in the boonies have been going. But in the end I concluded that I will return to blogging only when I am stateside...for now.
I wish I made a note of the process of healing that I had gone through to get to this very healthy point of my life. I guess appoaching another milestone/bday in one'se life can give one serious moments of revelation and access what REALLY matters in my life. I have done that and have shed some tear, had a fed sleepless nights with bouts of anger and frustration but altogether I am better because of it.
I type here now, thinking of nothing else but how glad I am to be here in this very spot at this very moment. Life is short and it will be only good if you choose to make it good. No excuses.
It is soooo goood to be back!
Hugs to you all out there and follow me for the next few weeks as I share where and what I have been doing the last couple of months. It will be different and exciting.
See ya'll tomorrow then.
