run!

i have this love for beautiful pictures and sights and sounds, altogether.
doesn't everyone? tonight, a picture of perfection came together in my experience.

tonight, i went jogging with my pup in the stormy evening light.
storm... as in: it was raining in loma linda. just sprinkling at first.
i wore a cozy headband that hugged my ears as we floated over the wet pavement.
a few unseen puddles dotting the sidewalk soaked my feet on the first block.
kept running.
about 500 feet into the run, a gorgeous song came on. i don't even know which
artist it was, but i loved the song! my heart seemed to contract with each rhythmic, happy
beat of the song.
kept running.
it was so perfect for the situation and our bodies moving
...the night lights on the wet roads were just
sparkling.
kept running.
about a mile in to the run, it started to pour.
i smiled and kept running, so did the dog by my side.
something is so special when things that would normally bother you
make you feel alive.
soaked to the bone, we arrived home safely.
just three miles and we found happiness.
tonight was a good reminder
to keep running.
