We picked up our younger daughter and her boyfriend from the airport last night and I was struck by how clear the night was and how far the visibility. Part of this probably is because of the recent rains cleaning the air, but part I think is the fact that I rarely go out at night now, so I have this abstract notion of what the night looks like. I also lack confidence in my vision, especially at night, but last night I would have had no trouble driving. It's too easy to be scared off of activities at night, or just not being shut in the house at night, which comes so early this time of year. Unfortunately, walking at night is not an option in my high crime rate area. Then I could really look up and see the stars. Our house is surrounded by huge trees, so the back or front yard don't afford a view. I'm missing something. I realized that.
Today is a big push to wrap a big present for our granddaughter and get it mailed. Ugh! Then I have a meeting in the afternoon. I don't like meetings. Oh, well, there are lovely moments no doubt in this gray day. I just have to find them.
