The Falling Rain

This day started off chilly and raw. An intermittent rain has been falling since I left for work in the predawn darkness of the morning. I love the fall, but I forget about these parts. I forget how cold and raw the rain feels on mornings like this.

I don’t mind that the darkness intrudes longer into these mornings, but when these dark mornings are coated with a light rain, it can be downright depressing.

It always seems like a slow, steady rain can make a night- or in this case, a morning, seem even darker than it already is. Somehow, my headlights seem dimmer as they strain to light the way in front of me, but the headlights of the cars behind me seem so much brighter than usual.

I think it's going to be a long day.
