Dissociated Thoughts

Rainy Day Blues

My dogs are driving me crazy since they can't go outside. It's pouring rain so we're all sheltering in the house from the storm. One of my boys is staring longingly out the window. I'm sure he's wishing he could go out and chase some squirrels. All of those little critters are sheltering somewhere too. Nobody wants to be soaked by the cold rain.

I think the rain and the day are suiting for my mood. Grey and depressing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like the sun to come out though. Things just seem to be dreary around of late and the sun would definitely help to brighten moods. Good thing with the rain though, is that the newly appearing plants and grass are getting plenty of water for their roots to help them grow. Maybe this year my plants and lawn will flourish instead of dying out and drying up like everything did last year. Surely there will be more beauty to follow the dreariness of these darkened rainy days!

I have to remember to focus on the beautiful, the good things in life. Those are the things that keep us going, keep hope in our hearts. And I need all the help I can get to combat this Bipolar depression that I find myself in at the moment. Things will get better; life will become more beautiful and precious again. Once the rain ends, the beauty of Creation can once again unfurl and show its many faces to the world. Till then, I suppose we will all have to wait - longingly, looking out the window.
