Day 4 - 289 -- Rapid Change

Another long work day is almost behind me. I spent the day grading midterms and writing parts of a report for a work committee. When taking short breaks, I checked for the mail and it was warm and humid at noon. By 2 PM it was far cooler and the wind had moved from southerly to northerly. It is to be single digit cold overnight and not too warm for a couple of days. Then maybe the temps will be slightly warmer and seasonal. Transitions of the season have been erratic and the hurricane season has six more weeks to surprise us further.

Transitions of seasons mark the days and years. Some years are more predictable than others. This year has been a challenge with so many Atlantic tropical-type storms. Living by the Gulf Stream means the warmer water and weather pass by or make landfall in this part of the nation. I suppose this could be a metaphor for life -- the ups and downs of the calm and stormy parts of life. The unpredictability of weather can also mirror a life -- something over which there seems to be little control.  Making some alterations to develop stronger coping strategies could be one way to retake control. It is part of the journey after all.

The selection shared here has lyrics that fit the internal ideas of change as well as those occurring outside my window today. Enjoy!
