No Internet

And the thunder rolls...
As I type this, lightning is flashing, thunder is roaring and I am getting emergency notifications that the U of A is closing today due to county wide flooding. I guess what they say is true. When it rains, it pours.
When it rains, oh when it rains. I am one to know about rain. It seems all this semester has been one constant rain storm for me. I've experienced loss (rest in peace, Grandpa J.E.), seen sickness and disease, witnessed relationships crumble, seen lives spiraling down the drain, gone through disappointment and confusion. At times I have felt like many of the fields and streams in the area today: completely overwhelmed and flooded, about to burst at the seems!
I've spent a lot of time nearly drowning in the flood waters. But I'm still here. I'm still floating.
A lot of this is due to some really wonderful people in my life. I don't know where I would be without the people who love me.
I confess, I have dwelt on the pouring waters. But all storms pass, right? The winds blow and eventually we see the sun again. So I am going to try to dwell on the flowers and the sun and singing birds that follow all great storms. Sure there may be some damage control, debris to clean up and throw away. But that's part of life, ever changing and beautiful. I will embrace the chance to be renewed and rebuild who I am after this storm passes.
I am going to learn to dance in the rain, because I know what comes after. <3
