Blame it on the weather

The clouds are moving in, but it's all good!

I have been so lazy lately, and I blame it completely on this windy and rainy weather we are having.

Oh but I love it!

I do love sunny weather with cloudless blue skies and the sun burning brightly; however, I also love depressing weather with cloudy gray skies and cold winds. There is beauty in sadness.

When I was younger, I used to collect posters–those with scenic images and poetry–which I bought from National Bookstore. I would display them in my study area or hang them on my wall. One time, my lola dropped by for a visit and hung out in my room. She noticed my poster collection and commented on this particular one that featured two wooden chairs facing a stream. “You actually like this one?” she asked in a disbelieving tone. “But it’s lonely.” I looked at the poster, then at her perplexed face, and told her yes. In truth, I bought that poster because I found it romantic despite its lonely ambiance. The image was clearly shot on a cloudy day, but that only added to its poignancy. It soothed me instead of making me feel depressed.

That is why cloudy, windy, and rainy days have the power to make me lazy and sentimental. I would rather think than work. I would rather listen to music than work. I would rather gaze outside my window, watch the dark clouds pass by, and follow the swaying of the branches than work.

Lazy days are here again!
