Andrea

Gray Day Greetings,


Today I find myself on the inside looking out as Tropical Storm Andrea passes by.  At the moment there seems to be a lull but the radar indicates there is more rain to come.  The week has been slow.  My energy has been blah.  Jak and I continue to do combat with the fleas.  We're counting the days until it is time for his next dose of flea control/heart worm medication. 

I still have not heard back about the job I wrote about last week.  I suppose this would be a good time to put my writings about hope to good use and heed my own advice.  Life unfolds as it should which is often not how we think we want it to.  I haven't given up that I will hear, I just get a bit stuck in the frustration of the whole job search.  I'm not sure if the frustration is the cause of my blah energy or if it is an effect of it.  I am resilient.  I will rebound.  The sun always shines, even when we can't see it.

Tuesday of this week would've been my grandfather's 100th birthday.  He always loved walking on the beach at sunrise and since we scattered some of his ashes there, it seemed like an appropriate time and place to honor the day.  Due to low clouds, the sun didn't come out of the water.  The sky was still pretty and I managed to get a few decent pictures.

Yesterday I went to the library and took out the whole first season of Downton Abbey.  It has been recommended to me by several reputable sources and it seemed like a good plan for a rainy day.  I haven't started watching yet but will probably get there sooner or later.  I could also stand to do some laundry and maybe make the long trek out to WalMart.  I'm not sure my low energy will lend itself to either today.  Perhaps I just need to get out of my own way, and find a way to make the day count.

Until next time...
Peace & Love,
Hope
