Jul. 12, 2006 - RX for the Rainy Day Blues
|
Im 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 dont 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 didnt 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 weve 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! |

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!
