I woke to the sound of chirping birds. I looked out the window and saw clear skies and a smiling sun. I knew it was my day. I guess good things come to those who wait. Patience allowed me a perfect running day. Despite taking a turn which led me an extra mile off my path, I couldn’t have asked for better conditions.
The nice weather afforded me the luxury of taking a few pictures and smelling a few flowers. But since perfection is elusive, those same flowers seemed to be putting pollen into the air. I didn’t realize until after my run that my eyes were super irritated and itchy. It was nice polishing off my day around lunch time.
While my day’s conditions were ideal for me, the storms and tornadoes continued on in other states. I think that this tornado season has produced more tornadoes than at any other time in history. Not only are there many, they seem to be very strong. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again human activity and over consumption are key factors contributing to an angry mother nature. There have been mighty civilizations in the past which have brought about their own downfall. They were advanced beyond their time and they thought they could control their environments. But in the end, no matter how advanced we become, mother nature is still stronger. I don’t every want to see her when she is fully angry.
