Today I am grateful for a gorgeous sky. I love the song that goes. . .“All about that bass, ‘bout that bass, ‘bout that bass. . .no treble” a lot. Probably because I’m sure it was written for me. But today it’s not about “that bass”, it’s about. . .that sky!
The weather is so perfect that I threw open the windows to bring it inside. My husband is off golfing and the house is quiet with no perpetual baseball game playing season 994 on the upstairs computer and no WWII being fought on the TV in the living room. I hear the neighbor’s air conditioner kick in sometimes, but otherwise it’s just birds and cicadas. A perfect day for a walk. Yes, me! Again.

I felt cocoony and woodsy, so I went to a park where I know the path runs narrowly through the trees. As soon as I got out of the car I was blown away by the sky. If you’ve been paying attention you will know that I don’t take anything for granted. . . including the sky. Especially today. Brilliant!
When we lived in Jakarta the pollution was so horrendous that we rarely saw a blue sky because it was mostly yellow, with bright red sunsets when the poor elusive orb passed down below the smog. Yuk. So today when I got out of the car and was surrounded by brilliant blue, with ever-changing popcorn clouds I was blown away.

I couldn’t help thinking of those poor people out west who are battling miles and miles of burning forests. Many haven’t seen the sky in weeks because of the unrelenting smoke. So this one is for them. Today it’s. . . “all about that sky, ‘bout that sky, ‘bout that sky. . .no troubles. . .”
