@bethany cloudy - yes - BUT it looks amazing. love green rolling hills like that.
@sinbach it is pretty beautiful - even with the rain
@bethany sometimes the rain can make it special. perhaps we need gloomy days - something about them makes me enjoy my food a little more, stay in bed a little longer, build a fire a little bigger, and opt for a good 'slow burn' book/movie. these things seem a little more special in gloomy weather. maybe this is why england has been blessed with such amazing authors in the past? reading and writing do seem more enjoyable when daily sunshine is more rare.
@sinbach have we talked about this before? The best writing that truly stands the test of time is usually (at worst) depressing and (at best) reflective. Both of those come more naturally with gloomy weather. I'm convinced there's a link there
@bethany yes we have talked about this before! my theory is sunshine preachers are popular in the moment but are often forgotten over time because they lack the depth that proceeds posterity.
it seems that gloomy weather and hard lives have something to contribute to our understanding of life, love, and salvation.
