It rained the whole day. From when I woke up to when I’m writing this now. It was a pretty robust rain, it had moments where it was stronger than others, like when we were at a coffee shop that wasn’t so very good, though we had the nicest seats in it. And it had moments of calm as well, like when we were sitting in a restaurant after waiting two hours for our seats. 




I know there were times in my life where a day like today might’ve put me in a sour mood.
We’re on vacation. We’ve taken the time and spent the money to be away yet it’s been raining all day and the food hasn’t been that great and the wait is long and the coffee is bad and the key to the café restroom is attached to a weird metal thing. This might’ve ruined a day for me in the past, but today, it wasn’t so bad at all. 

We discussed why that might be while we drove, we speculated, but we didn’t arrive at any real answers. The closest I felt was that home life is so sublime these days that we can accept gracefully the tribulations of not home in way that might’ve been impossible before. 
The importance of place has been a lesson long in learning for me, from when I went to college to now, a proper place to be has only proben to be more critical to my happiness.
