I remember when I was a shorty and on Sunday morning’s momma had us get all dressed up in our Sunday’s Best to go on off to Sunday School.. I remember how she would re-brush my hair after I told her I already did it, fuss about me wrinkling up my clothes cause I couldn’t sit still, and tormenting my little sisters as they got their hair pressed in the kitchen….lol and just before she sent us out the door she would give each of us ( my two sisters and I) a dollar a piece to put in the collection plate and as she did that she would take lick her thumb and wipe that cold out the corner of our eyes and we would look like presentable little people off to hear the Good Word..lol

Its raining here in the city……

I love Rainy mornings….just something about them. Yes, it may be hard as hell to get up and come to work, but for some reason on rainy mornings I always tend to wake up a little bit early, before the alarm clock goes off….I love the peace and quiet that the rain brings and to me its like when Momma used to wipe the cold out of our eyes…this is God’ s way of doing the same thing…

I got up this morning at like 4:30 and it was coming down pretty good. Didn’t turn on the T.V. just went and opened up the front door and sat on the front porch and listened to the rain come down…it was peaceful and calm. I sat there thinking about all that has happened to me and what is happening in the world around us…the everyday hustle and bustle that we call life. The sun had not made it up it so it was still pretty dark outside and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t hear police sirens, ambulance sirens, or look across the park to see some hype or homeless person sleeping on the park benches…Just peace and quiet…it was nice…really nice…

Even on the drive to work, the traffic was light…I guess alot of folks took the day off to make it a long weekend…I kept the radio off and just listened to the windsheild wipers and the rain hitting windows…”I think its gonna be a good day” is what I kept telling myself all the way to work…

I don’t have any big plans this weekend. Its supposed to rain the whole weekend… and that fits right into my plan of sticking to the budget so I will probably be in the crib cleaning up and chilling…the Direct TV guy is coming out tomorrow to replace one of my recievers and I have a showing for the property in the morning so after that I plan on being posted up at the crib….enjoying how God wipes the cold out of the world’s eyes..

Have a Great Weekend…

In a minute…
