2/4/11

I was pretty stressed today. I didn't get to bed until very late last night. We woke up late. I had a ton of grading and planning to do. And, the NC Symposium on Teaching Writing started tonight (which I was very excited, but also very nervous, about).

However, today was a rainy day. I love rainy days. There's just something so inexplicably comforting about watching the rain drops splash onto the ground and listening to them patter off the roof.

I love just looking out the window on rainy days and watching the world grow blurry and misty. The rain gives everything a shiny and magical feeling that makes me want to curl up and read fantasy novels all day.

Today, the rain brought me happiness and a smile even though I was bound and determined to be a Negative Nancy.
