I don't know what was going on with me yesterday. All day there was this shroud of melancholy that seemed to drape over me. Sometimes I just can't think my way out of such situations. Sometimes there are just inklings of what may be going on. I mean, I had a routine dermatologist appointment (everything's a-okay) but I don't think I was particularly worried about that. Oh, and the sun didn't shine most of the day...most likely a factor. But still.
Over time I've learned to just ride these things out. It's still not comfortable, but what in life is 100% comfortable? There's always a lot of self talk to get me through, in which I've become a pro! But still.
While there was some light rain during the day yesterday, it didn't amount to much. I'd been thinking how the weather has been relatively dry now for a couple months. Then last night, well after dark, I heard this boom. Checking the weather app, sure enough, there was a thunderstorm cell moving over us. And then....it poured! For a good five minutes the rain came down in buckets. What a relief. This morning as I lifted the blinds, it was so nice to see a saturated landscape.
I sat outside in the sun, having my tea, listening to the birds and waving at the trash collectors as they went by. What a difference in my mood! Should I really be this sensitive? Ah well.
(ummmm...lots photos to follow...)
