9-109 (19/4/22) -- Stormy

A wind and rain storm arrived today. I completed my driving by early afternoon to avoid being out in the worst of it. Cross winds gusted in clearer areas or at the top of hills. That was uncomfortable, but at least they were sporadic and no rain had started at that point. By mid-afternoon rain and wind began in earnest. 

As I've noted, seeing people from outside of town is a major treat. Today I said good-bye to someone with the hope that we'll see each other again soon. I've lost trust in the systems that surround us over the past many months. I'll admit that having a plan in place can help me feel more positive. I also understand that such plans may change due to global and local events. That can be difficult to accept, but the plan helps me hang onto some bit of hope. It makes 'see you soon' feel more real <smile>. So, I had a small storm in my head as the one outside the window arrived.

Living with anxiety, I can get lost in my head at times. I'm working on getting out of my head and into the moment more <smile>.  Lyrics from the chorus of a song that played through the car speakers today got stuck in my head -- a short type of earworm. <smile> I share a version of that song here. Keep safe. Enjoy!
