1 Whew.
2 I hope you got through that storm all right.
3 I've managed, because I finally have mastered the fine art of holding on to and appreciating my umbrella.
4 I almost lost it yesterday, but looked right where I left it, and there it was.
5 I guess the beauty of all these storms is that as we look into the alpine splendor of our own Mt. Hamilton, and as I see the sun split through the clouds in miraculous splendor, or when I see storybook rainbows shining down on our town, I smile. I know where I placed my indefatigable umbrella, and I again love life.
6 And my umbrella became stronger all winter, fighting off the fierceness of the cold winter storms, and keeping me as strong and as forceful as the wet, shifting winds.
7 That may sound a little funny, but I somehow gather strength when I hold it up. And I'm now careful about where I lay it down. And I'm especially careful never to forget it, ever again.
8 It became my dearest friend this winter.
9 Maybe it's symbolic.
10 But it's been a long, cold winter. I've needed that protection from the wind, rain, and snow.
11 I've needed something to hold on to.
12 So yeah, perhaps it has been symbolic.
13 But to me, it's been my best friend.
14 Well, almost.
15 In just a funny sort of way, it's been like a best friend.
16 I'm once again exhausted. The show has been a lot of work, and has been utterly draining. Life has been a swirling madness of late.
17 But through all the madness, I've seen drenching rains, rare snow flurries, vivid rainbows, and rays of sunlight bursting through all of the dark clouds.
18 And I hold my umbrella each day, placing it in it's spot, now that it's finally become a part of my daily routine.
19 I now know where it is at all times.
20 It's my best friend.
21 Well, almost.
22 Peace.
