Urania’s ears filled with discord. Cracks and pops clanged as she moved her lower jaw upanddpwnupanddownupanddown. Wound tight, and sprouting a headache, she aimed to rid herself of pain by encouraging her sticky spots to relax. “Is it too much — to ask for a little sunshine?!”
Cloudy skies today in your town? Downpours here plus lightning and thunder! Oh my!
If making sunshine through your creativity was your mission today, Bingo! Plain as day! Sunlight emerging from the page with the terrarium. Pencils, or watercolor pens, glowing as if radioactive, also with sun shiny hues.
Then the word message(s). Proscriptive actions to work out the tensed muscles. Allowing our friends to attend to a trigger point can work wonders! (Asking for and accepting help. Novel!)
Thalia’s comment about gloom passing is reminiscent of You’ll Never Walk Alone:
“At the end of the storm. Is a golden sky. And the sweet silver sound of a lark.”
(A Rogers and Hammerstein classic from yesteryear. Nicked later on by various pop artists.)
Perhaps this is not a day for larks in Wisconsin, but it can readily be a day for gloom to pass and lessons to emerge!
“Zip-a-dee-do-dah, zip-a-dee-ay. My oh my what a wonderful day!” Not intended for Cha-Cha-ing. 😉
Our weather has been dreary too. As was Chicago when I visited my sister last week. Have you heard of the new book "Bittersweet" by Susan Cain, the best selling author of "Quiet?" I haven't read it, but it's on my to-be-read list. She argues that for those who don't mind dreary days, "embracing the bittersweetness at the heart of life is the true path to creativity, connection, and transcendence." It's an interesting perspective that may apply to me, but I'll know more after I read it.
Today’s humor comes at the expense of your reply to Spangler... “P.S. It's a lightbulb!!!”
If I hadn’t been distracted, when you first posted, I would’ve asked you where you nicked the lightbulb drawing from, (rhetorical question), and we could’ve eliminated Spangler’s confusion. Then, he would’ve had an entirely different reply to you, which is interesting when you stop and think about it... 🤔
It’s the artist’s business to create sunshine when the sun fails. ~ Romain Rolland
Your quote has my full attention as I make gathering sunshine part of my daily activity so on the days when it doesn’t shine, all I have to do is open up my phone and there’s the sun waiting for me… 🌞😎🌞
‘This the season for S.A.D. lights. Seasonal Affective Disorder is associated with both less daylight hours and particularly our winter attire and behaviors preventing sunlight from “bathing” us as it does in warm weather.
Might be the impetus to get out the inflatable paddle board and find gentle slopes, grassy yard areas, preferably with some snow coating. LSB! Long snow boarding... Ideally with head and face bare to catch the sun’s rays. Oh, windchill. 😔

P.S. I love the lightbulb!💡
Love the lightbulb. Sunshine is great, but when you don't have it, your creativity can light the way.

And what powers flower-filled lightbulbs? Florality? 🤔
