The sun shone brightly outside as I headed down to the man cave to check my blog. Any spare second that comes along makes me want to run to the computer to see if anyone left a comment or, joy of joys, chose to become a Follower. (Are you like that, too?)
After all, it's only been eight months since I discovered blogland and it's still wonderfully new to me. It's an exciting place to be.
Twenty minutes sped by and I headed back upstairs. Glancing out the kitchen window, I was shocked to see the sun had disappeared. Blue skies dotted with mounds of white clouds were long gone, too. They had been replaced by dark skies and black-rimmed clouds. Rain came down fast and furious, ripping through the air and pelting the windows of the house.
Trees looked like they were going to keel over as a wild wind whipped through their branches. Within a very short time, the flash storm was over. Cautiously, I stepped out onto the back porch. The wet air felt cool.
The sun burst through a light gray sky and illuminated rain drops on pine tree branches.

If all of life's problems could end as quickly as the flash storm, it'd be great. The newly washed world looked fresh and inviting. The rain drops shimmering on the tree were dazzling.
It felt good to be alive.
WHAT GIVES YOU AN APPRECIATION FOR LIFE?
