Hi, it's Emily. It is raining today in Fresno and it is supposed to stay this way for ten days! I am usually one to love the rain, but here it doesn't smell like fresh mountain montana rain, but dirty, grassy fresno Californian rain. Eew. I did have a nice refreshing run in the rain the other day, however, and found great joy in jumping through all of the small rivers that had formed along the edge of the curb. It really is the small things in life that bring us the greatest amount of happiness. Like my dog, for example. She is little, but has the ability to brighten my day with her giant puppy eyes that I really miss a lot right now:( A text message might be something small but also something that comes at just the right time and says just the right thing to make you feel better and lets you know that someone truly cares about you and your well-being. Some things just bring you joy and then there are other things that drag you down into a hole filled with dirt and spiders. I consider myself a kind person who tries to get along with everyone until someone I try to get along with completely makes me feel like I'm worthless. What really makes a person better than another? I may not be that good looking but in my opinion what is on the inside counts more than any physical appearance and I don't like being judged before even getting to know a person. It hurts my feelings. And pulls me into that scary hole of anger and bad moods. I don't like spiders either. So there are so many other awful things that have the ability to get us in bad moods like a pointless assignment or a boring class or an angry apartment owner that yells at you...I don't think any of us really like any of those things. I think what we need to do is forget about all of the bad things and do our best to focus on the little joyful things we can give to each other to make our surroundings more bearable when it seems like all there is is rain and fog for the next two weeks.
