The storms that came through my state last night were severe but thankfully no tornados. I was jolted awake several times and just watched the sky light up and heard the wind howl from my darkened room. It was unnerving as we have a history of tornados. Since that Easter tornado passed by our house a few years ago, severe storms scare me.

I feel disenchanted and cynical this morning. Could be a few things: my daughter leaving, COVID is surging here, post holiday blues. I don’t know but I don’t like it. Life is a gift and a miracle. I’d like the mindset to match. I’ll work on it.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day.
