• Jul. 12, 2006 - RX for the Rainy Day Blues

I’m the type of person who is very much affected by the weather. I really love thunder and lightning storms. I love windy days. I love sunny skies with or without the clouds. What I don’t love is GREY SKIES especially day after day of not seeing any sun. I remember right after my second baby girl was born, it was February and for 11 days straight we did not see the sun, nothing but grey skies. I was extremely hormonal, my husband had just gotten laid off of work, we had hardly any money coming in, and now there was no sun. One afternoon I can remember looking out the window at that oppressive blanket of grey in the sky and I told the Lord that I felt as if I would die if I didn’t see some sunshine soon. When the sun finally did return it really lifted my spirits.

When I woke up at 5:30 this morning it was raining and muggy. It has rained steadily all day and has been exceedingly dark and depressing. My nephew left early this afternoon and I decided to take the girls out for a puddle walk. Wow! I have taken my girls out to splash in the puddles before but it was never this much fun! I guess because it had been raining for so long and because we’ve already had a lot of rain this season the puddles were HUGE! A few of them were on grassy areas and they were at least 3 inches deep. We had so much fun! It was a great Rx for the rainy day blues. I highly recommend walking through grassy puddles with bare feet, very refreshing!

How fun! I'm glad you found a way to beat the rainy day blues. I too am very much affected by the weather. I used to live in AL where it rained all the time and boy was that ever depressing! I hope the sun shines for you soon!!!!!
I just got your comment about the green tea.... so I'll wait and see if you win the contest first. =)
And thank you so much for your prayers. I haven't read Stepping Heavenward but my mom has that book so I might take a look at it! Thank you for recommending it to me!

....I officially diagnose you with SAD. I must have O-SAD (opposite of SAD) because that day you were speaking of (dreary all day) was happening here, too and I LOVED IT! I didn't have to feel guilty about not bringing my kids outside when it was the last thing this fat, pregnant mama wanted to do and I had high hopes that a dark, dreary day would fool my kids into thinking it was night time and they'd take good naps! HA HA HA HA HA! It also gave me a good excuse to bake something....what was it I made? OH, rice krispy treats! So that wasn't exactly baking, but you get the point. Love you!

About Me

I’ve been asking the Lord to pluck out of my heart the weeds of fear, pride, criticism, and ungratefulness, and to cultivate in me a content, thankful, loving and humble heart attitude. I want Him to make me fit to be a gardener for His kingdom. That’s really where the garden idea came from. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ John 15:1-5 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.... for without me ye can do nothing." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
