The Good, The Bad, The Slippery

I awoke to the splattering sounds of rain, and the first thought that came to my mind was............

" Good rain,.... Oh, this will certainly make the bluebonnets sprout!"..............

then as my mind caught up in the process of waking, my next thought...........

"oh no............ bad rain............I have to drive into town today............the roads will be flooded."

When it rains hard..........the roads turn into lakes.

I had to be in town............and so I drove...... as the rain pounded harder and the windshield wipers fought furiously against it. And in an instant, the car started to feel as if it were floating, the trac/control light came on, and the windshield iced up............................sleet............. slippery sleet.............I don't drive in sleet...........but turning back was just as far to drive as going onward..............so onward I went, at a snail's pace.
But in all things, the good, the bad, the slippery, I still see the beauty in it all. Sleet has always looked like glass beads to me. Shiny.........sparkley.........
Now I'm home..............
.................home..............
I love that word.
