...the rain is gone!
We've had a weird weather front hovering over the islands the last few days; days that had us waking to the sound of rainfall on our roof, a sky the color of ash and low temps that prolonged the wake-up process, our bodies begging to keep us in bed and under the covers. There is a tangible comfort in days reminiscent of winter; a chill that requires a sweatshirt, fuzzy socks on the feet and an inkling for warm soup in the belly. For about five minutes. Because I love me some sun.
6:40am: The rain is gone and the skies are blue. I awake to a symphony of bird songs and monarch butterflies dancing in the breeze outside our bedroom window. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee makes its way into the bedroom and a lazy, purring, 11-pound kitty sits like a heavy rock on top of my belly. Life is grand!
And I'm all about keeping it real. It'd be great if I were outdoors, relaxing and celebrating the Sun's glorious return. But I'm not. Instead, I am sitting in my office, under a low sky of fluorescent lighting, a temperamental copy machine humming to my right and an overly enthusiastic air-conditioner that sinks the office temperature to that of a meat-locker. I am so hungry my stomach is eating itself, my feet are cold and in dire need of a pedicure, I'm having a bad hair day and I'd rather be painting...plein air style. Adulthood is so overrated.
But yeah. Life is still grand. :)

Beautiful shot, adulthood is so overrated. I used to dabble in paints, every time I visit your blog I get inspired to go try and find them, but I have no idea where they are.
ReplyDeleteYour language is as beautiful as your artwork!! Amazing..I can picture it all:)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how 'cold' it gets in HI to the point of wearing a sweatshirt, when in all actuality it's in the 70's. Many times I would put one on because it was too cold for me, especially when raining.
ReplyDeleteI agree...adulthood is overrated.
Life is grand. Love that line :) Weird weather to be having in the middle of May. Here in south Texas we're already hitting the 90s. Stay warm!

I woke up and was SO excited to see that there was SUN outside my window! I've been over the rain for quite a while now. Welcome back Hawaiian sun! :)
ReplyDeleteOh no, no I have this song stuck in my head all day... ;-)
ReplyDeleteAfter all you can be sooo happy that the ocean and the beach is so near by. I hope you can enjoy the sun after finishing work!
Lots of love! XO.
Love the blue skies...hard to stand it when it is meat locker cold inside though!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sun!
Oh I love that photo! :) I talked to my sister in law on Oahu the other day, and she was telling me about all of the rain and crazy weather there lately. I'm so glad the sky is blue now.
ReplyDeleteYes, adulthood is way overrated....I sit and look at my 3 year old often, and think, oh to have no worries and responsibilities....but it's all good! :)
You can wish for anything in the world and then suddenly a bit of sunshine can sheer one up immediately. Summer is so lovely, it gives me happy vibes each and every morning.
ReplyDeletegreat picture.
ReplyDeleteAdulthood is sooooo overrated! Everyday it's sunny I get depresed I have a job. Looking at bills and the bank account helps me remember that I HAVE to have a job.
ReplyDeleteAdulthoood? Phshhhh! Totally overrated!
ReplyDeleteAnd you mean to tell me that you actually go to work while living in HI? I would have a really hard time doing that!
I can't get over your gorgeous photography. So lovely, Angie!!
