Retrospection on a Rainy Day

It is grey, foggy, rainy, and warmer than usual for late October.  Why is it that rainy days invite retrospection?  Sometimes this self-reflection brings greater understanding of yourself, your place in this world, and where you want to be.  Sometimes it just bums you out.

Filling out a survey to help my alma mater is what really brought my grey mood.  Facing the fact that I am so far from where I had wanted to be at this point in my life.  Then again, I have had to roll with life's punches and I think that I have done fairly well so far.

So maybe I will listen to the shush of the water as the cars go by and the patter of the rain on the sidewalk while I watch the drips race down my windows to puddle on the sill.  Waiting for the inner peace that retrospection can bring.
