It was lovely.

My Front Porch

Today I sat on my porch during a thunderstorm. The winds picked up and howled through the leaves and limbs of the trees surrounding my house. The thunder was light and not too loud. There was no lightning to be seen. The rain picked up and moved with the wind. I closed my eyes as the rain misted across my skin. It was lovely.

I realized at this moment that I spend so much time worrying about everything around me. People I love. Work. Dreams. Tasks that I need to complete. Situations that I cannot control. I let the worry twist my insides. I neglect to appreciate the smaller moments in life like a thunderstorm.
