On Days Like This…

June 2, 2015 By Mrs. Mom 6 Comments

 

On Days Like This

On days like this, I just want to sit on the couch with a hot cup of tea while reading a great book…

That’s what I want to do, but let me assure you, that is not what’s about to happen.

You know what days I’m talking about…

All night, I heard the sound of rain…and crickets.

When I got up this morning, my house was cold, which delayed my movement from under the blankets…

My children were all snug in their beds, hoping that it was a Saturday…

To our dismay, it’s Tuesday and no matter how much we wanted to sleep in…we had to get up.

So what do you do on a day like this?

What do you do when you look out the window and all you see is the earth looking gloomy, as if it is national drink a cup of tea and read a good book day?

I don’t dare to say that I have all of the answers, but you could try what I did.

I found a beautiful spot on this earth and I looked at it in a different light.

 

A different perspective.

I found a bright area and I focused on the beautiful things…the flowers, the cup, my pjs, and my old pink Bible…

Then I just sat…

I sat and took in the fresh air…

I smelled the rain in all of it’s freshness…

I asked God to bless my day and lead me to accomplish all that He has for me…

Most of all, I wrapped my mind around goals…tasks…all of my required duties…

When I was finished, I felt great…

I felt ready…

I am so happy that I found the beauty in it all…

I am thankful for days like this…

They remind me that we all need to be refreshed…

We all need to slow down and take in our surroundings…

We all need to breathe…

How do you handle days like this? I’d love to hear about it.  Leave a comment below…

Thanks for reading
