Gratituesday 7.25.23 - Dark & Rainy

As I take a pause and look out the window, I really don’t know what time it is. I mean it’s the middle of the day, but the sky is dark and I’m hit with a cool breeze that feels like rain. Since I live on the first floor of my building, and I have to crane my neck to see the sky, sometimes it’s hard to know what it’s actually like outside. I’m sure there’s a lesson or a larger take-away. But in this case, the rain is a nice respite from the heat. However, the darkness makes me want to stop working and lie down on the couch. Instead let’s reflect a little. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done my weekly lists. Care to join me? Cool. I’ll go first. The comment section is always open to share or encourage.
