Today’s the fifth day in a row that it’s been windy, cold and cloudy…and I’m grateful. It’s Spring Break, so I’ve been staying close to home more this month than usual anyway, and cloudy skies make it more palatable and productive, too.
Cloudy skies are a good excuse for quiet activities, like reading and knitting and writing, things I enjoy doing but for some reason can’t sit still for too long when the weather is nice and beckons me outdoors. I’m doing more of all three lately. Plus, the usual chores and even some that get done only occasionally are getting done without bother since they provide some ‘activity,’ and I don’t feel so guilty for eating all the food I’m baking—comfort food lately, considering the weather.
The next ten days are predicted to be mostly cloudy and windy, with the sun coming out one day and possibly two. So what?! I’m grateful that a cloudy day at the beach is still a day at the beach!
Do you know how the clouds are balanced, those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge? ~Job 37:16
