Today is raining. It is also getting cooler. So, I put on a new sweater that I had bought last winter. I got it on sale and it was too warm to wear it so it stayed in my closet until today. The strange part of all of this is that somehow putting that new sweater on made me feel a little bit better. I am sure that this manifests some sort of psychological problem in me but nevertheless it did pick me up a bit. I don’t like to admit it but I am way too emotional for my own good. It has gotten me into trouble at various points in my life. On of the truly great features of growing older is how I have learned to not react as much to what is happening. I find that I am much more mellow and easy going than I was as a ‘youngster.’ Of course, God is not through with me yet. I still need to be more secure in myself whether I am wearing a new sweater or an old one. Something for me to think about today.
