I’m feeling a little like Johnny Cash lately. The skies have
been overcast and “I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when.”
Thankfully, only the clouds are to blame and I’m not stuck in Folsom Prison—or
any other prison for that matter. But then, neither was Johnny Cash so, I’m not
sure that matters.
Back to my point; it’s that weary dreary time of year
again—for those of us who are summer people, anyway. The sky is nothing but a
foggy haze. Continually, it seems. Depressing is what it is, especially knowing
that winter hasn’t even really started yet. That means I get to look forward to
cloudy skies for at least a few months. And I gave up looking for the silver
lining behind every cloud years ago.
Actually, I did see the sunshine on my way to work the other
day—for about five minutes. The brief reprieve did brighten up my day! Then it
was back to reality.
But at least it isn’t snowing yet. Last year at this time, I
was already immersed in wintery driving conditions. And the long, drawn out
winter that ensued was discouraging to put it mildly. I’m hoping this winter is
not a repeat performance but I’m told by the “experts” that it likely will be.
Sigh. Just the thought brings dismay, discontent, and dread—along with several
other “D” words, all equally distressing.
But, I suppose there’s not much I can do about it. What will
be, will be. Or, to quote another Johnny Cash song, “I don’t like it but I
guess things happen that way.” ~
