Rain, rain...I can't stop you anyway.

A few weeks ago...it rained very hard for a couple days...I was working at a store that had a parking deck, but chose to park outside....It should also be said that before I arrived at the store, it was not raining!

So, I worked and worked, and did I mention worked. When I left the store, I went to put some things in my trunk, and it was soaked with rainwater... Books, brochures, clothes...so many things wet! It was slightly humorous because the trunk was closed, all the rubber crap around it was intact. Logically, there was no reason for water to be in the trunk, but it was. So, I was standing at the proverbial fork in the road. Left, be pissed and mad...Right, react and clean up the mess....

I went right! When I was kind of time-still and in awe, I had some thoughts...that this was a great illustration for life. Everyday when we leave the sanctuary of our homes and family and friends, we are in a rainstorm called the world. We have very little armor for this, save our logic, rationale and hopefully a calm spirit.

Junk will always find a way into the trunk of our lives and make everything wet and soggy. We can either deal with it, or stew on it while it festers and mildews. Its a simlple choice, really.

And, we own it!!
