I woke up early in the morning, around 7 am, to pouring rain outside my bedroom window. But it felt relaxing and calming as I just lay in bed for a while. Gumby, on the hand, was walking around my head, on my pillow, trying to urge me to get up already. I finally got out of bed to feed him, before making my breakfast while watching Ghost. As I watched, I remember I went to the Ghost play at Orange County Performing Arts on my birthday, with my late mother as well as my brothers and their wives. We had also stopped at a vegan restaurant, Native Food, to eat a vegan meal.
But this morning’s pouring rain reminded me of a Whitney Houston song, Where You Are. I have always liked that song. I used to listen to it on my cassette tape over and over while lying in bed. I guess that was in the 80s because cassette tapes are now vintage and obsolete. I realize this song is a 1987 song, the same year I graduated from college and my life began.
An hour later, the rain stopped, blue sky materialized, and a bright sun came out. It looks beautiful. I have noticed that after the rain, the day looks so beautiful, indicating a fresh new start.
After breakfast I went on the internet to check on things. I glanced at my calender, by my side, and noticed I have another photography meetup tonight. I will work on another page of retouching today before I go.
So, where am I? Same place I was since my last year of college but I have grown a lot to expand my horizon, which includes going back go schools to attain more knowledge and skills, which have helped me self-publish a first novel, and work on a second novel that I will hopefully complete this year. I need to finish retouching as well as do a script. I was thinking about the script today, and I am considering writing it in 3rd person narration, but also using 1st person in certain areas because it is also the main characters journal.
