# 10 (WET!!!)

Okay.

So today is dreary. It is dark, wet, rainy, and 40 degrees.

I on the other hand am feeling... happyful. Today was a red lipstick, high heels, rocking out to rain music kind of day.

I decided, hey, I'll go on a walk! I can enjoy the weather and get all happy inside and talk to my sister and walk my dog and... YAY! So I put on my sneakers. I got my coat. I grabbed my phone and my iPod. I left.

"Where should we go?"
"I dunno. Oh! Let's go through the tunnel!"

So we set off. Emma has the dog. I've got "Like The Rain" by Clint Black playing in my ears.

We pass through the tunnel.

We get out on the other side.

As usual, I don't stay on the path. I cut up the grassy hill.

But!!!

As I am taking that nest step I find myself wet. Cold. On the ground.

O.O

I've fallen over!!!

Great. Another wipe-out. If only everyone could be as skilled as I am.

To really explain just how talented I am you should also know that I fell in such a way as to get my entire right leg, my lower left leg, my back, and my butt all 100% soaking wet.

Yes. I know. Skills. Talent. Be JEALOUS.

My first reaction was to laugh. And then... I got a little bit pissed. And I was annoyed... I screamed a bit... And then I just dissolved. I dissolved into a fit of giggles.

I came home. I changed clothes. And I sat down to contemplate myself. I can walk everyday. I go off the path. I frolic. I prance and run and skip. I walk with my eyes closed my ears filled with music. And yet I never fall over.

Sure, I might... Be going down the sledding hill and lose my footing landing on my rear. But I don't wipe out with the same amazing skill as I did today. How does that work? The one day that the entire ground is so saturated with water there are puddles, I slip and fall. Oh my word.

I love me. I am so skilled.

But more than anything I love God. I thank Him. He brought me down into a puddle, and He gave me the chance to have a laugh at my own expense. =)

So now... I guess my mood has changed. It's more of a dirty jeans, white tank top, comfy shirt and socks mood. But the red lipstick is still there. =D
