Lemon Custard

Here I am again, sitting in front of the computer tapping away looking out the window partially blocked by the cat. The sun is glimmering off of the palm fronds in my neighbors yard. The sun is just beginning to peak over the roof of the house next door. The cat sitting on the window sill is a little obstruction but if I try to make her move she will bite me. Golden green fronds sway silently in the morning breeze. It will be a beautiful day.

This morning the sky looks like yellow parfait. This weeks focus in classes is on analogies. Lemon meringue pie is like the morning sky. My pale yellow roses become one with the lemon sky.

I am thankful for -

my roses right outside my window

the beauty of the morning sun

my computer is working better

a hubby who fixes my overloaded computer

pool water temperature has hit 86 degrees

summer almost here

the cat has left her spot on the window sill.

Hump Day

The sun has risen although you cannot see it through the dark and dreary sky scape. It's like a winter gloom spread evenly across the earth. After spending two days locked inside a conference room the least I expected today was a little sunlight. The dark sky and evil looking clouds chill me to the bone. A discontentment attitude fills my insides.

I feel cheated somehow - as if nature is punishing me with her darkness and all I want is sunshine, brightness and a little warm weather. That doesn't seem like too much to ask for. I'm sitting here wrapped in a fleece robe trying to stay warm. I suppose I could turn on the heat but that would not warm my insides.

I want my bright sun and puffy white clouds to greet me and console me. I want a little warmth as I enter the outside world. The doom and gloom may very well keep me inside today pondering negative thoughts and wishing for spring. I could do something useful and productive and ignore her darkness and gloom. I guess we all have our bad days and today mother nature is in full distress.

My fingers feel the cold as they bang away on the keyboard trying to change my negativity. I have gloves but it's difficult to type with them. This is not the Florida weather that I love and expect. It's dark and cold and I do not like it. Even the cat refuses to go outside. She sits here yelling at me like I have caused this cold and bleakness. At least she has a fur coat.

Time to lift this cluster of gloom - time to go shopping. A cure for sure for the winter blahs!
