At some point after Christmas, God decides we are a little too blessed with all this sun and thinks He should remind us how the rest of the world is living (for example the whole Northeast region of America, whose inhabitants have just endured a record-breaking snow storm). Cue crazy thunderstorms and dark skies. At the feel of the first drops on December 31st, I assure Mo, “Don’t worry. Remember how E said it only rains for 10 minutes here, and then its fine again?”
Well, that turns out to be true every night in the history of nights, except for the last one of 2009, which manages to be the rainiest one we have witnessed so far on the Island. It rains every 20-30 minutes. All night. Without fail.
Aaand a happy new year to you, too! We are off to a stellar start.
I wake up the next morning expecting more of the same. I walk out onto the balcony and am pleasantly surprised that apparently, we are back on someone’s good side. I take a seat in the lawn chair, prop my feet up on the white fence, and behold a beautiful sight.
In those first few moments after I wake up, the world is serene, the view in front of me is amazing, and I feel peace. So what if it rained all night? I could never ask for a better way to start the new year than with the feeling I have on January 1st.

TIVI.
Hope the rest of your year is going just as well.
Thanks! So far so good... I live in semi-paradise ("semi" being all the parts the people off the cruise ships dont see and no one takes pictures of... which I plan to do a post on soon) so I really cant complain!
