I Love Cloudy Days

Cloudy days are great

to sit, take some time

and reflect.

I like to think about friends

and connect.

Sometimes I stalk them

on Facebook

and look at their recent posts

since the last time I checked.

(Which may have been 

only ten minutes ago).

I like to make a creamy cup

of organic half and half espresso,

two spoons of cane sugar

and sip the warm crema off the top

while I enjoy reading scriptures

and meditate on who God is.

Sometimes I like to make 

a big breakfast for the fam.

As sleepyheads emerge 

from their cozy bed nests

with hair that mirrors 

their night of cozy sleep

in their most coziest sleepwear.

I love to write about reflections 

of life, family, friends 

and experiences shared.

Or like this cloudy day -

I reflect on cloudy days

and what I like to do on these 

sorts of days.

You see, there is a silver lining

to all of the time we have in life.

Take hold of it 

and seize the moment

of its twinkling beauty.

Who said you have to fill your days

with bustling go here and there -

do this and that?

No one I know forces that.

So seize the cloudy days

and make the most of it. :)
