Right now the sun is shining in Southwest Missouri and I hope it stays that way for a while. Rain in Missouri and Arkansas during the past few months has caused severe flooding and destruction, over and over again. We've had way too many dreary, rainy days. It's not only hard on those who are in the flood areas but also on those of us on higher ground enduring the onslought of sadness that often accompanies bad weather.
Fortunately, I live about two houses uphill from a large ditch that floods my neighbors yards. Tonight the city has turned off our water while workers attempt to repair water lines near that ditch. No showers, laundry or washing of dishes this evening. That work can wait but the work of overcoming the sadness and depression brought on by inclement weather is something that can't wait.
My husband and I took a brisk walk in the recently appearing sunshine and that was very helpful in chasing away the sadness. A bowl of ice cream seems like a good idea to me as well. I hope writing on this blog, watching a good television program later and a good night's sleep will help me feel more like myself tomorrow. What kinds of things help you overcome sadness brought on by bad weather?
