Where I live, we have just experienced five or six days of below-average temperature days in which it has been cold, wet, dark and melancholy. In other words, day after relentless day of gloominess. It has made me realize what a weather-sensitive person I am. Almost every day I have woken up, stepped outside to discover that it was still wet and cold, and have experienced different extremes of moods.
Here are a few different versions of me, and how I’ve reacted to these doldrums.
“Oh Goody! This will be a perfect day to snuggle up in my recliner with a cup of vanilla nut cream tea and read my book and be all snug and warm. Good thing I don’t have to go out.”
Another day…
“Why did I even bother to get up? I can’t do anything right. No one loves me. No one cares. I’m totally alone in this world. I just feel like crying.”
Another day…
“Gloomy again? Oh well, this will be a perfect day to get some stuff done around the house. I can bake some cookies, polish the furniture and maybe do some writing in my blog. It’s kind of atmospheric!”
And, still another day…
“Oh drat! Cold and wet AGAIN? When will this damned weather end? Looks like we’re going straight into winter. Pretty soon they’ll start all that sentimental Christmas advertising and you know what that does to you. How will I survive again this year?”
Yikes. Sometimes I even scare myself! There’s me and me and me and me. On the bright side, I guess I’ll never be truly alone!
Anyway, I don’t know about you, but I could really do with a little Indian summer before we delve deep into the depths of winter. So, what do you say, God? Don’t you need a little more time to show off those pretty leaves? Sure you do! I’ll be waiting…
Hang in there, Star. It WILL warm up and the sun will shine again. You have your friends and you have your talent and health…and I’m sure you could come up with a great list of “blessing”. Try not to let something like another dark, gloomy day get you down. Your blog readers need you too!
