Does freaking out make one a freak?
I read the warning
Of course, it was in red letters
Heaps of snow to come
You’ll surely be buried
And not just that
But blowing snow
You’ll surely be blinded, get turned around, end up in the ditch
Best not to venture onto the roads
Stay home, for God’s sake
I’m admitting
That’s where my mind goes
I read the warning
And then proceeded to get worked up
And the fear kept me from investigating for myself
When I did finally poke my head out
And found the situation far from dire
I felt a little foolish
I hope that I’ll remember this most important lesson
That a forecast is not a fact
A prediction is only one possibility
And peace can be maintained when one pauses
To wait and see

HI, Polly!! I’m right there with you… those weather forecasts are supposed to be accurate, right? And if they say lock your doors, grab twelve blankets, set the candles out, and don’t even think about going outside… well, that’s what we should do, right? 😯 It’s definitely NOT my nature to be patient, pause, and wait… nope. It seems, however, that my entire purpose in this life is to learn how to be patient in every possible way. I AM learning… one lesson at a time. I don’t like it… but I’m learning, and it does seem to bring about a more peaceful existence (when I let it).
Very happy to hear you’re NOT buried alive in snow! 😀

Isn’t that the truth, eh Scott? Patience is the thing! I’m with you 100%! Thanks, my friend! 😀
Isn’t this life – when we worry about things, 80% of the worries don’t materliaze and have wasted precious peace!!
It’s a bit maddening! You think we’d have learned at this stage! 😀 Thanks for reading, my friend! 🙂
