I wanted to get more mileage in today just because I know the Big Cold is coming again over the next several days. They’re calling for a low of 12 degrees tomorrow night. And then maybe snow. While I know these are ‘seasonal’ temperatures, they’re nevertheless bone-chilling and tend to discourage longer treks.
But when all is said and done, though? I’m much happier with frigid temperatures in January than the overly warm stuff we endured over Christmas. I actually saw crocuses poking their heads out of the ground two weeks ago. Not what we want to embrace as our new normal.
On the upside, Brutus seems to be feeling much better today (thank goodness). Indeed, early this morning he exuberantly smothered me with kisses and then proceeded to engage in some seriously relentless indoor aerobics with his sister, which Karl described as “like zoomies on steroids.”

Today’s Gift
Besides the relief I felt seeing Brutus feeling better this morning, another gift I received was catching sight of this Cloud Being speeding through the air. It feels like it’s been a long time since I saw some distinct cloud formations. That’s not to say I don’t relish the stupendous sunsets we’ve shared or the recent stunning aspects between the planets and the moon.
But regular Cloud Beings making an appearance? The sightings have been rare of late.
So I wanted to share this one that appeared today and express my appreciation for it.
Some days we need to delight in the little things. Well, we should every day, but that’s not always possible nor are we likely to always be so impeccable.
With all the hard stuff going on ‘out there,’ sometimes the only way through it is to delight in what’s right in front of our noses. And sometimes the pickin’s are a little slim. I just re-read these last two sentences and let me just say: I regret the innuendo.
