Clearing skies

It’s delightful to lie on the sofa and hear the rain steadily pelting the roof. Not a downpour, but a steady and pleasantly random percussion. In my mind I picture water dripping off the roof’s edge, running into the yard and percolating into the drought-ravaged water table far below. I get up and look out the window into the gray and wet, appreciating the beautiful rejuvenation from the sky. It’s perhaps an ancient mammalian response to the rain that draws me to recline, rest, listen, and enjoy the rain shower. Peace and contentment fill me.

Rejuvenation of my body is also going well. I’m done with my series of chemotherapy treatments and I’m waiting. I required a longer recovery after the last treatment, as expected. Now, I’m waiting for my immune system to recover. I’m waiting for my last PET/CT scan. I’m waiting for the “all clear” from my oncologist. Mostly, I’m waiting to go outside when the clouds clear out, and get back to normal life.
