Am I the only one out there who likes dreary days? Does anyone else like overcast skies, with a few scattered, dark clouds that look like they could drop rain or even snow?
Strange, I know, but I like those days. I think maybe it's because I spent my younger (formative?) years in Maryland and Michigan, where the weather was a bit different (and more drastic) than here in Florida. I think those dreary days remind me of growing up somewhere else.

My goal is to become a Proverbs 31 woman...definitely not there yet but with God's grace, maybe
Proverbs 31:10-31
10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

I love those days, too! When you can smell the fall in the air and the fallen leaves rustle with the cool breeze that swirls around you....ahhh...so good to be back in a place where I can have all of that...withOUT the extreme of 210 inches of snow every year!
I think those are my favorite days of all, actually. Well, and days with thunderstorms. The only problem is when they string together for days and days at a time--we had a stretch here that was overcast for about nine consecutive days, and only rained for maybe two of them. That's a bit much. Nothing wrong with a little sun now and then...
