Does the snow family have their arms up in supplication for cold weather, in resignation to their doom from the sun’s warmth or in rejoicing for the cold, sunny day? No way to tell, really, and they’re not saying.
How is the weather affecting your mood today?
It’s raining. I don’t enjoy walking in the rain. When I was younger, I would put on swimwear and splash in the puddles, though even then I would limit these activities to warm weather. Now I don’t like getting wet. I almost always still walk my beloved dog. She needs to be able to do her business and gets stir-crazy when she doesn’t enough exercise. The walks tend to be shorter as a compromise.
I don’t feel good. I don’t know how much is caused by my chronic illnesses, how much by side effects from the medications, how much by an infection, and how much by simple stress. At any rate, I didn’t feel good in the first place, and then had a bunch of things I needed to do anyway.
The combination means that my poor dog will have to wait until tonight for her walk. I feel guilty about it, and I’m worried she’s going to have an accident, yet I just can’t deal with a walk in the rain – especially since I still have to make dinner and walk my dog tonight (she’ll probably be able to hold it till this evening, but I can’t expect her to hold it overnight if her last walk was in the afternoon).
Today and yesterday in our vicinity have been a combination of gray and glow! Driving home from a nearby city, I saw only layers of grey clouds trying, it seemed, to turn into darker gray and black. Suddenly, a shooting glow of bright sunlight came through. I said, “Great! Keep coming!”. However, the gray overcast won and quickly it was gray again. But, to my surprise, the same thing happened again, with another short bit of warm sun shining through the car window but lost once again. All I could say to myself was, “Well, the sun is up there somewhere, and another day will show us more of its brightness and warmth another time.”
