The Color of Clouds

This doesn't even look real, does it?
Another Dog Island sunset. That was last night's, by the way. Mr. Moon and I took a walk right before sunset and we got caught in the rain. Although that sounds about as romantic as it gets, it really wasn't. The wind was blowing so hard that the drops of rain were being driven into us like small projectiles but it wasn't a very heavy rain and we got back inside before we were soaked, not that being soaked is a real problem at the end of July in North Florida.
And by the time we'd made a drink and changed out of our damp clothes, it had almost stopped raining entirely, just a few gentle drops splashing into the tidal pools as the sun was setting.
That's the thing about an island- the weather comes and the weather goes.
The emotional weather in me came and went but I realize I've got to get some help and so I will.
It's so strange. Ever since I've started this blog, I've loved writing in it with all my heart.
And right now, I barely can.
Enough evidence right there to get me to do something.
And I will.
Not that the world needs Bless Our Hearts.
But Ms. Moon does.
I'm home.

  4. More people need it than you think. It's a big part of my day and I am always thankful for your view, even when you aren't feeling your best.
    Hang in there and be easy on yourself.

  5. The world does too need Bless Our Hearts - and when the #1 heart blesser isn't blessing our hearts - well, our hearts don't get blessed!(At least mine doesn't get blessed...)

  7. You are able to express yourself so well (which is a gift not all people have) and I definitely enjoy your blog a lot. Basically, I would just echo what HWB said.
