I am sitting here in bed listening to the rain fall and I feel great. We got home not too long ago from a night out with friends (we go to Starbuck's with them every Wednesday) and Meg is already asleep. A quiet iTunes mix is playing in the background featuring John Mayer, Ben Folds and Jack Johnson and the window is cracked open just a bit so I can feel the Fall air on my back. This is heaven! I feel great right now!
It is nice to feel great right now because this has been a rough day for me full of pain and sleepiness. I feel so tired lately and I really hate that. One of my friends also told me tonight that I look pale and that is not good. Based on my natural complexion, pale often means yellow and you all know that yellow means liver trouble and liver trouble is just bad news in my case.
But right now at this moment I feel alive and safe. I am next to my pretty wife and Tinkerbell is here also cuddled up next to Megan. I could not ask for a whole lot more right now. I am thankful for what I have here. I love these moments!
Tomorrow I hope to have a better day. I may go to a concert with friends if I feel better. That would be great! Maybe I will sleep in and wake up and head out for coffee alone with my new book. There is something magic about books and coffee on brisk Fall mornings.
Relax if you can if you have been stressed and think about all the wonderful things that you have. I bet the number of good things far outweighs the bad!
Sleep well out there! Thank you for letting me have your attention for a minute. You have no idea how good it feels just to let it all go once in a while!

SO happy to hear you had a fun night!

I love listening to the rain at night. I will often get up and go sit on the patio and listen to the rain. There is something so cleansing and refreshing about it!

Hey Rube,
Although I know you are never doing 100% good, it makes me happy whenever i hear you are feeling happy. Sometimes wether we are good or not, happy can still happen...you know?
I just read this and I wanted you to know that I read it in san luis obispo where I am staying at Ryan's parents new house. They just moved here last week. We drove the remainder of their belongings up today in a U-Haul. I think right now Ryan is happy that we are here but, the idea of his parents living so far away hasn't quite sunk in yet. I think that when we get back to Modesto it will hit him, and he is very sensitive so...???
Anywho, sorry for rambling but, I am happy I am minutes from the ocean and now I will spend some quality time with the in-laws :)
Take care, miss you!!!!
Tell Meg hello.

Ah Ruben,
I haven't had much time to read lately, but you make me long for rain drops and a good book. I find the combination of the two so soothing.
Take care.

You are inspiring, my dear friend - very inspiring. I had a bad day, came to read this and thought to myself "Yeah, what he said - so right."
I thank you.
The good does outweigh the bad; it always will.
Be safe.
