Ever stand in a wind and fall back knowing without a doubt that it will hold you up? Somthing like the scene in Brother bear where Koda and Keni are stading at the top of a hill and are blown up until the wind stops and they fall...
As usualy i got up this am and got ready for work with my eyes half closed. I was blessed to roll over at the sound of my alarm and see that neither of my girls were in our bed and then realized that neither myself or my wife had to get up during the night to calm them or get them back to sleep.
I got my clothes with the light of my cell to keep the burning sensation from hitting my eyes when turning on the light. Got dressed deoderized, teeth brushed, and kissed the wife as I headed out the door.
I opened the door expecting snow on the grownd and was let down when there was no fluffly white stuff laying out. Then the wind hit me in the face sending cold chills down my spine. Talk about waking up immediately. It was like having someone come in and throw a ice cold glass of water over you as you sleep warm in the bed. I put on my Chicago Bears stocking hat and got in the "on-call" car. Driving to work the wind was blowing hard enough to rock the massive hunk of metal I was driving. I got out to hear the ocean in a fit of crashing waves thrown by the wind. I had thoughts of allowing myself to fall back and let the wind hold me up, but knowing I could crash to the cold grownd and still not fully awake I covered up hard and ran into the building...
If it were warmer I would have enjoyed the wind blowing. Life is like that sometimes. The wind blows hard and some wind is nicer than others. Those nice hard windy days in life make you want to slow down and just let it slap you in the face and blow your hair around (if you have hair!). But, what of the days with a hard bad wind? The wind of missing family who have been gone or are a good distance away? Those winds we want to allow to blow away quickly...
So today my hope is that you have the good wind that makes you pause!
Blessings,
Mike III AKA Big Daddy
