It’s been oppressively grey in the UK lately. The kind of grey that makes you want to stay in bed (if only). It was so grey the news outlets reported on it. Apparently, it’s called anticyclonic gloom, and it’s created by a high-pressure system that traps moisture near to the Earth’s surface, causing heavy grey skies that (in my experience) lead to heavy, grey moods.
Well said as usual. Some days I'm right there with you, more to do than energy. Then light shines and I'm back. Awe has a lot to do with it, thank goodness we find awe, eh?
Oh I do love your writing style, Rae! First off, that’s a great title and initially I thought you’d dreamed up the “anticyclonic gloom” term. It sounded like your fun and humorous creativity. Secondly, this was the very first thing I read when I opened my eyes, still in bed, and it’s just so uplifting, positive, encouraging and the kind of practice I absolutely love.. awe-spotting. So thank you for this gift today. Delighted that you included the little clip of your wood stove and love note from the Universe and also the very inspiring story of the footballer. And I loved and could feel the joy in each moment of awe you shared. Hope there are many more for you! Meanwhile I’m up and off, excited to find my own, thanks to you! Sending love, Mel xoxo
Yay 🥳 so happy to have aided your awesome-filled start to the day lovely Melanie, I hope it continued. The sun was shining here in the East Midlands again today, I hope it was shining in Spain too ☺️
Also I love the you think I’m humorous, thanks for that highest of compliments (I’m going to remember it next time one of my ‘mum jokes’ gets an eye roll 🙄😘)
It’s a great name isn’t it? I’d never head of it before I saw the news article but it definitely fits my mood when the sun goes on hiatus! I hope you’re seeing some sunshine in your part of the world ☺️

You’ve got to love the little daily doses of wonder ☺️
