Storm clouds or squalls
Storm clouds on Colorado’s eastern plains taken in 2011 “It takes a real storm in the average person’s life to make him realize how much worrying he has done over the squalls.”
I am learning the storm clouds I see on my inner horizons of life may be nothing more than squalls. These squalls could be depression, worry, fear, loneliness, insecurities, fatigue, catastrophizing. On the other hand, the storms in life are things like illness, loss, or death, suffering, a broken camera lens, or a memory card failure. Ya know, true storms!
