On a Day Like Today
On a day like today, I have to fight the tendency toward melancholy that seems very much a part of who I am. This gray, waterlogged day invites me to crawl under the covers and hide myself in a warm cocoon. I want to close my eyes and forget the growing list of failures.
On a day like today, I wish I could just cry.
On a day like today, I turn on all the lights and turn up the music. I tap my foot and sway to the rhythm of reluctant optimism. Hope springs new and all that jazz. My stubborn heart is slow to relax and give in to truth.
On a day like today, I am an obedient schoolgirl. I take a deep breath and repeat from memory the words and lessons and facts as I know them. Learned in the sunshine to be recited in the rain.
On a day like today, I remember the one thing that is always true. My God is good. He is patient and kind and loving and good. He is big enough for sad little girls who don’t like the rain and He is wise enough to send it anyway.
