February 2

At long last, we had a good, steady rain today.

In celebration, I had a nice cup of hot cocoa.

When it comes to beverages, I'm more a coffee girl than anything else; as a matter of fact, as the years pass, I like frou frou drinks less and less. But there's something about the occasional hot cocoa that takes me back to those times when things were simpler; when I could blank my mind and just listen to the rain drip-dropping on the roof.

And sometimes, even now as a grown up, it's a blessing to sit with my cocoa and just hear that rain.
