Coming off of the most pleasant August weather I can remember in almost thirty years of Texas living, it seemed suitable I would awake today to a cloudy and rainy morning.
But as gloomy as it may seem outside, I actually am comforted by the change, and by the solace of the shrinkage of one's world that occurs when the veil of rain closes off the horizon.
I could easily stay home here aboard ship on days like this. But the job is a demanding taskmaster, as are the bills. And sadly, it is those same pressures on both Linda and I that will prevent us from making the long drive to Sassy's viewing tonight, or services tomorrow. We've communicated such with her family, and they're forgiving and quite understanding.
Finally, a word of thanks to all who wrote and left comments on the previous post.
It is good to have friends like you.
