Despite my runny nose, sore throat, and hacking cough my heart feels full. The sun is beaming here today. The birds are out enjoying every second of it. While I watch some of them from my kitchen window I also see drops of water fall from the roof, indicating the temperature outside has reached a whopping +10°c. It’s the warmest temperature we’ve had so far in 2024.
The weather man on the local news is saying that tomorrow it will be plummeting to -13°c. That’s quite a drop. Ouch. My mood often fluctuates with the weather, especially this time of year. This back and forth, from hopeful excitement back to depression, will probably be my pattern over the next couple of months as Mother Nature grapples with whether to hold on or let go of this brutal winter.
Yet its an amazing time, hope filling the dark crevices of my soul. Even though the freezing days remind me of my dark moods, I feel a sense of hope glow internally. It may be just a small glimmer but it’s there.
Hold on.
