Water

  From where I sit in my cube I work I can just about see outside. Only a tiny sliver over the top of all the cube walls but it is just there in the distance. From the looks of it there might actually be rain in a bit. It looks cloudy and gloomy enough to happen. This makes me happy. As someone who grew up in England that may sound strange but you miss the simple pleasure of water falling from the sky when you live in a place where from May through October not a drop falls. There may be the odd cloud in the sky sometimes but they burn away so quickly no moisture stands a chance.

  So lets celebrate the arrival of water. For someone who doesn't like getting wet, at least when it isn't under my control, I get strangly happy at the prospect of rain. That fresh clean smell in the air when it stops is great.
