Gray skies...

Today is such a day...gray skies.  It is noon and looks more like dusk. I find myself not very motivated to do much, but there is much to do- so I gotta get to it. Days like this- I wish we had a fire place- the flickering light from that makes up from the lack of light from the sunshine. I usually like days like this- but today I seem to be struggling with it.

I know why- because I need to go outside and work and who wants to go do that on a day like today? Bed seems to be calling my name, but I am trying to ignore that voice. I should have a meal in the crock pot or something to bring a cozy feel to this cold, gray day. The weather is  fitting to where we have been in life too. Just a bit gloomy, a bit unmotivated.

We all have seasons like this and we all have gotta figure out a way to snap out of it, or at least hang on and ride it out. What do you do to snap out of a gloomy day? I would like to know. Please share...

Days like today, I am extra thankful that my salvation is not based on my merit or works. Today is a good day of remembering who I am in God's eyes. Though this is seeming to be a "red light" day- lots of things not going as I would wish them to go- I am just thankful for a gracious husband- who really won't care to come home to a mess or late dinner (or no dinner-haha). I am thankful for days like this that make the other types of days- where a lot gets done- seem so much more victorious...I am thankful for music that can change the mood of a room, and I am thankful for the fact that gray skies don't last forever!
