Rainy Days

It's very rainy and miserable out and I totally understand how days are ruined when it rains. All day I've felt lethargic and I just want to lay in my bed under my covers. That led me to think about how I would feel if I didn't have a bed I could lay in. It really puts things in perspective. Hurricane Katrina was not just rain, it was a five category storm. If I had to evacuate my house without knowing if it was going to survive I would be terrified. I could not imagine losing all of my belongings. I would be lost without a place to retreat to. I can't even begin to imagine the emotions one must feel when finding out that the one place you feel most comfortable in is destroyed. Not to mention everything you've acquired over the years is gone as well. Starting over is difficult for everyone especially when all of your friends and neighbors are starting over as well. I definitely take even little things, like my bed and covers, for granted.
