Woke up this morning to the sound of tapping on the roof… very slow and light… Birds? Then a bit more heavy… squirrels? Then more wide spread… lots of squirrels? Then there arose such a clatter even more heavy… Reindeer? Then a whole heard of reindeer? No it couldn’t be that, it wasn’t Christmas! Then more and more, heavier and heavier… what could it be. I jumped out of my bed to see what was the matter. Okay, early morning… I crawled and creaked my way out of bed and limped to the door. (Continuing)… I flung open the door to see what was the matter. Then it hit me… literally… RAIN… OMG… it was rain… I had forgot what it sounded like. It felt and sounded so good I ran to the yard… okay… slowly walked, but a bit better now. Wow! … Rain! I wasn’t dreaming... it’s wet… it’s rain… I’m wet. It was just like in the movies… joyful… playful… and an upsurge of refreshing emotional and spiritual uplifted feelings… oh! this is really wet! Still, a bit faster now, hobbled back inside, dripping wet. Of course in retrospect, this was not the thing to do… but, you know me… I’m a guy… that’s what we do. Do the wrong thing without thinking… and not think to do the right things. The key phrase… “not thinking”. But the rain felt so good, cool and refreshing… I felt like a kid again! Oops… there’s Mom! Well you can guess the rest of the story. Punished again. Yep… second childhood for sure.
The big question… will this get any better… the second childhood thing? … nope! I like that word… Nope! It kinda says not only “no”… but with the right tone and inflection can convey even more additional meanings… depending on the situation.
Nope… and I don’t care.
Nope… and nothing is gonna change.
Nope… and you’ll just have to live with it.
Nope… and it is what it is.
Nope… end of discussion.
Nope… I ain’t listen no more!
Nope… Nope… Nope!
Nope… … … Guess there’s no dessert for me today… but that’s okay… I need to loose weight.
Hope I got that right… dessert or desert. Too careless, and it’s too early to look it up. I wanted the one that was sweet and creamy… not the one that was hot, dry, and sandy. Oh wait… that’s Texas!
Nope… what a great word! Rain… what a great thing! Looking for rain all day!
So the word of the day……today there’s two …. “Rain” …. and “Nope” !
Both are like a breath of fresh air… one literally… one emotionally.
It’s a gonna be a great day! … … Yep! (another good word… but that’s another story)
