A Heavy Sky

 This was a heavy, heavy sky over the valley.  They were calling for severe storms.  There was a stillness that was not quite eerie, but approaching it, as this thick cloud cover rested over every edge of the horizon.

This week I've felt sort of like I'm under a heavy sky: overly tired, brain-foggy, not quite focused.  Getting things done, but not well.  And not my finest self, personality-wise: distracted, scattered, a little cranky, unmoored.  I suppose we all have these times.  I'm weathering it by cutting my to-do list way, way back, and making peace with a less productive period of time.  

But whew, I'll be glad when this heavy sky lifts, and the sun shines again!
