<\/a><\/p>\nI enjoy a dark cloudy day when I don’t want or need to be outside…when I can cozy up inside.<\/p>\n
This morning, in the midst of the dark clouds: a bit of blue sky.<\/p>\n The blue sky is always there.<\/p>\n Sometimes it is obscured by clouds.<\/p>\n But it is there.<\/p>\n I sat in the Jeep with Bear, by the side of the road, looking – taking a photo when I felt like it…and thinking. <\/p>\n Just like a storm gathering, dark thoughts like dark clouds obscure joy. <\/p>\n It is easy for me to embrace the darkness at times. Holding on to grief is a way to hold on to Bob. Not a good way. I know this for myself from past experience but I also know that it can become a habit that is tough to break.<\/p>\n Behind the darkness of sadness and grief is the blue sky of happy memories and joy of time shared – not only with Bob but with every pet and every person I’ve loved who is no longer with me. <\/p>\n I can’t see any silver lining in loss but I can see that above dark clouds is clear blue sky.<\/p>\n And a Big Orange Sun<\/a> :) !! <\/p>\n Today’s dark clouds brought some welcome rain.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
