Peppermint Soap, Raindrops and Evergreen Trees


Earlier this evening, I took time out to go take a relaxing, hot, peppermint- scented bath. The bathroom window was open (no one can see in, it is too high!), so I sat there in my nice hot water, and watched it rain. It was beautiful to see these huge drops of rain, against the backdrop of a very old, tall Evergreen tree...it almost seemed mystical. During this time, my noisy neighbors down the street broke into choruses of drumming and singing. Normally, that sort of thing might annoy me when I am trying to relax, meditate even. Today, however, I found it entertaining, and almost nice to hear their happy sounds...I really do appreciate living in the Pacific Northwest most of the time, this is one of those times.
