♥ One joy shatters a hundred griefs.... ♥

I walked home in the pouring rain with my lovely Katherine and Justin today. After a hot morning's work at the manse the rain was just glorious. We must've been a sight, traipsing down the sidewalk, drenched to the bone and grinning ear-to-ear at Justin's hair, which, with a mixture of water and sweat, stuck straight up in the air when he ran his fingers through it. Everyone else was huddling under soggy umbrellas or pelting down the street to get indoors. We didn't mind the rain. Liked it, actually. Had hot showers in quick succession the moment we got in the door.

Never mind the heartache that I felt the other day. The joy I felt this afternoon, being with two people very close to my heart ... it outshines any loss. Here's to a new year. I'm looking forward to the many little joys 2010 is sure to bring me.
