As I drove around today to:

• find out status of part for broken cell phone;
• get refund for part that isn't coming for broken cell phone;
• go to AT&T store to get broken cell phone fixed;
• go to AT&T support center to get broken cell phone fixed;
• find out broken cell phone is out of warranty, thusly not able to be fixed by support center;
• go back to AT&T store to buy new cell phone
• go to friends house to pickup house keys (note to self: never lose house keys again);
• go to other friends to get smoker for tomorrows Game 6 tailgate;
• go to office to make up for lack of hours during normal M-F hours

... I came to realize something that fit perfectly in my 30 day writing experiment; I realized that ...

Today, May 3, aka Day 10, I am grateful for Sunlight.

It may sound silly but I love the Dallas weather.  First, we don't have weeks of rain.  Rain comes and within 36 hours even the worst of storm fronts are completely gone; usually you only have to wait 6 to 12 hours for it to clear ... if that.  Something similar to what we northerners call Snow comes and 6 hours it's 60 degrees and the ground is dry.  Humidity comes, and well that sucks because it's 100 degrees when it comes, but it's gone in 24 hours.

Seriously, I don't mind the 105 degree summer days (even when they are 60 days straight).  While I do miss my snow and the changing of the seasons (don't even try to tell me there are "seasons" in Dallas), I wear shorts and sandals 8 months out of the year; and almost NEVER say "gosh I just wish [insert next season] would come already!"
