With darkening skies and the smell of rain, the impending gloom fit my mood today. I have been in a funk for a few days and I cannot seem to shake it. I tried going for a short walk at lunchtime. I have not done that in ages. It seemed to help and as I passed by all the college students I couldn’t help but wonder that their lives held in store for them. Mine on the other hand, I feel trapped in place for now. Like I’m just waiting for a strong wind to carry me to someplace where I might take root and flourish.
