It's Friday!

It’s Friday! Wow, fantastic and throw in a couple of halleluiah’s for the gods! I am thrilled, excited and almost ready to forget the touch of “la grippe” I picked up…

Remember me saying I didn’t know if I could wait for another Friday just to see the sun? Making a comment about the weather gods gifting us a sunny Friday last week and commenting that Friday, Jan. 1st was a bright sunny day?

It’s not the end of the work week for me; it’s no big deal if it’s the beginning of the weekend either. It doesn’t mean my social calendar is going to be busy or even that I’ll let down my hair with friends tonight.

What it means is that the sun has returned! The weather gods have blessed us with full blazing sunrise skies and even now, a couple of hours later the clouds collecting along the Cordillera Nombre de Dios mountain range are the innocuous cumulous ones that look like smeared marshmallows.

It also means I can open all the windows to air out the apartment, do my laundry and keep it dry afterwards and get out and walk, which is my personal passion.

Here are pictures from last Friday’s gift from the gods. I am determined to stay positive, and not to think that the gods are indulging in taunting us with hope for the end of the rainy season. When you receive a gift, all you can do is say “thank you” and I am.

We woke up to the beautiful sunshine this morning, too. And to the birds singing, and children laughing. The gods are good to us! What a great view you have!

I may not beleive in the capital G god, but I am the first to acknowledge that I am truly blessed. Yeah, love the apartment - frequently stand on the front patio, watching my barrio and the kids for endless time....

Hearing rumors of another cold front coming our way. But I don't care eitherway, sunshine or rain still beats the weather of the midwest or canada.

Ron, it's here... Gorgeous sunrise over the mountains this morning and then watched this wall of rolling black come in off the sea! Breeze is definately nippy, but you're right - way better than the USA or Canada right now....
