The weather has matched my emotions this week. The skies have been gray & overcast, rain falling in waves, the grass continuing to grow in overgrown shades of green. Very much parallel to my emotions. My mind has never been farther from clear, waves of different emotions come & go as they please, my to-do list (and stress level) growing & growing like weeds.
I've been grateful for the splash of red, the random flower that has grown in the middle of the overgrowth I call a front yard. I've never seen such a flower before & I've made it a point to search for something similar in neighboring yards. I see the flower in the dark. It captures my attention anytime I'm near a window or door. It has the power to get me off my couch, into my car, out to get crafts, to hurry home & back inside again. It inspires me to chip away at my to-do list. That one piece of color in my week of gray, my hope for luminosity, a prayer for a rainbow. Maybe this flower will bring me enough motivation to succeed in the fight against my debts. Maybe it'll help me bring an added income to save for my divorce. Maybe this splash of color will help me discover something about myself that I've allowed to be covered in a layer of dust- that thick, suffocating, layer of gray.
