Another day, another….
I love listening to the winter weather forecast for NE Ohio. It makes me smile because most of the time the forecasters get it wrong. “There’s a 105 cance of rain today.” Hullo! Look out the window! The cats and dogs are falling out of the sky. But nothing is quite so entertaining as the surprise in voices that report “Sunshine this morning,” in the depths of a grey winter. I expect them to follow that sentence with “Honestly folks, that’s what it says right here on this piece of paper. Sunshine! You remember that, right? It’s that yellow orb that glows in the sky.” We all get a little giddy at the prospect of sun carrying hope in the deep winter days.
As we live our lives and go through our days in these times, we all carry our own burdens and joys. I would ask that we take one small moment to hold up the land and people of Haiti, who are most surely in need of whatever we can give them.
And so it goes.

I’m definitely thinking of all of the Haitians affected by the earthquake. It’s so tragic.
Did I tell you I’m applying for jobs up there? Keep your eyes peeled for me?
I remember living up there and having to explain to my Texas-born husband that the sun rises and sets in the south in Cleveland’s winter. Sort of delicious sometimes – the unexpected soft light peeking through the gray.
I thought about squealing a little bit today when I saw the sun come out. I was happy to have to get my sunglasses. It was too short.
