The Sun is Shining Again…
Somewhere I once read that Indianapolis is one of the cloudiest cities in the United States. It does have quite a bit of cloudy weather, and in the winter the sky often looks like the aftermath of a nuclear disaster. Since moving to Southern New Mexico the Desert Diva has become quite spoiled with the almost constant appearance of the sun. For the past few days, it has been cloudy and overcast with off and on rain. However, today the sun is shining brightly and the temperature is reported to be in the 50′s.
Last night after work I came home and decided to take Cali on a long walk. In my neighborhood, I’m quite fortunate to have two little parks – one with a basketball court and the other with playground equipment. If no one is in the park (like last night) I let Cali off the leash to run. It’s amazing how something simple as an evening walk can change one’s mood. I was sorry that I didn’t have my camera with me for the sunset sky was a spectacular blend of color for that the desert is famous. The late afternoon shadows cast on the mountains was also a sight to behold. After walking for about an hour, Cali and I returned home as the light of day was fading.
I realize that I often miss “moments of grace.” It’s humbling what we can notice in our everyday lives if we only have “eyes to see.” Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to get ready and step out into the sunshine…

I must agree with the cloudiness in Indy…especially in winter.
I try to see the beauty in the little things too as I feel it makes me more appreciative of life.
Your walk with Cali sounds lovely- enjoy some sunshine for me too.
