Why do three tattered, unsanitary couches stacked alongside the dumpsters in Austin bring me joy? Much like RAK, this is a RAW- random act of weirdness. Weirdness is the definition of Austin. I am constantly and pleasantly surprised by the randomness and mentality of those who live in Austin. Written on bathroom walls are philosophical messages and words that represent open minds and creativity. Such "weirdness" always brings a smile to my face. It reassures me that there are still those who avoid conformity and strive for simplistic happiness. To me, Austin is JOY. Caprice Alli RAIN. I love the look, taste, color (or lack there-of), and most of all smell of rain. The smell instantly takes me back to when I was a little girl in Ireland. Although, I wasn't there long, the smell of rain makes me feel like I spent my whole life on my grandmother's farm in Ballygar, Ireland. Alison

Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Down in My Heart
An evening sunset
Bear hug from my sweetie
The smell of sheets off the line
‘I love you’ from my grandkids
Their squeal of delight when we visit
The smell of fresh dirt
Homemade cinnamon rolls
Remembering Mom
Holding hands
A summer breeze
A daughter’s phone call
New fabric
Crawling in bed after a long day
A child’s first hug in the morning
Peace in my heart
Knowing God loves me
~Mary (mom)
