Sometimes the weather does reflect one's mood...

Sometimes the weather does reflect one's mood. And yet it can soothe too. I woke up to this sight outside my sitting room window this morning. Mist, fog and fine constant rain, I am a little glum with all going on with my Mom at the moment, but, strangely, sipping on a cup of coffee and gazing out at this scene, somehow soothed me, made me feel cocooned against the world. Does a rainy, cool day sometimes soothe you too? Today my Mom is having more tests, hopefully we will have some answers and solutions soon. Have a great weekend, all!

I enjoy a rainy day if I have no where to go and curling up with a good book. Weather does reflect my mood quite often, especially sunny days. I pray your mom gets answers and solutions very soon. Prayers still coming her way. Hugs!

@bluesa I know you didn't have time for a book, but glad you felt cocooned. That was a nice, embracing feeling to have.

There are days I like the fog and the rain. The house seems more quiet and peaceful. Good luck for your mom.

@garymarsh6 , hi. Luckily I was home, and by the time I had to go out the rain had stopped. Yes, this weather reflected my mood at that moment perfectly.

Oh I love rainy, cool day but of course just soft rain not the heavy one that causes flooding. I love your photo, indeed it has soothing effect.
