I woke up. That's always a good start. I went to sleep last night wondering how much longer I have on this earthly plane...plain? But then, how long does anyone have?

It's gray and humid today. Looks like rain. It's rained quite a bit this week. I use to live in Florida and it would rain every day there. About 3 pm the sky would cloud up, burst, soak everything; and then the sun would come out again and life would return to it's bright and luminous norm.

That's the way these storms have felt, like Florida rain storms. I always kind of figured if I just stayed put in central NY, eventually I'd end up with tropical weather and possibly even ocean front property. Those conditions may not be too far away. What has really been spectacular about the rain storms this week however, is that twice they have left behind double rainbows. There are 24 apartments in my complex. There are at least two people or more living in most of the apartments; but I was the only one who ever bothered going out to look at the rainbows. Something about that made me giggle out loud. I found myself crouching at the end of my building on the rain-soaked sidewalk laughing all to myself, and brushing a couple of tears away as I savored the majesty of color brushed across the sky. As I peered ever harder at the transparent hues, I was able to make out just the slightest dashes of extra bands of more colors there, nearly invisible had I not spent the time to look more thoroughly. That made me giggle even harder. I'm certain anyone who saw me probably thought I was an escapee from the local psych ward and unfortunately, psychos probably are the only people who take the time to look at rainbows anymore.
And I must be crazy, because I didn't even know at that point that there was this eminent possibility...well, that my brain had gone funky on me again.

Well I'm glad I'm crazy...because I saw two double rainbows this week...and I saw red in those rainbows..never see red in them much...not unless you really pay attention, and I guess the crazy people are the only ones paying attention any more.
