Up, Down and All Around

Introspection

Something about the gloomy, muggy, rainy weather that we've been having is putting me in an introspective mood.

I don't enjoy being introspective. I'd rather not be thinking or brooding or obsessing about things, especially since my thoughts inevitably turn to things that I cannot control.

But the thought of going out gallivanting about town when the weather has been as wet as the past few days is just totally unappealing. And staying cooped up at home for days on end is enough to give just about anyone cabin fever.

So I'm forcing myself to go out and have dinner with friends tonight. At the very least, I will get a sumptuous meal to nourish the body. And with this group of friends, there will always be something to nourish the mind. Perhaps if I'm lucky, there will also be something to nourish the soul.
