Where I am, right now, is not a place to let a breeze drift in through open windows. Not here and now. Maybe after a couple more months. But here, along the Emerald Coast, it’s still mighty hot and humid. Not open window weather.
Here’s why I brought up where I am.
Because it was exactly on this day, the 8th of August, over a dozen years ago, when I wrote about how nice it was to have cool breezes blowing through open windows. What a difference a few years, AND a whole ‘nother part of the country make.
Maybe you’re having hot, humid summer weather, too. And I’m sure we’ll have a lot more. Because that’s just how it is this far south along the coast. So, I have to imagine and reminisce about cool breezes flowing through the house in August. Those are my Rocky Mountain memories.
But, no matter where I am, I’m blessed to be free. And freedom keeps you healthier and certainly can increase how long you live. No matter where you are right now, take a minute or two, and say a prayer of thanksgiving for how God’s love makes you free. Regardless of the weather.
That freedom might even help you solve this Rhyme and Reason riddle I wrote on that different August day…
Where I Am Now
Can you guess where I am now?
I am hiding in plain sight.
You might think I’m in the grass,
And you’d almost be just right.
But the grass is just close by.
It can see me. So can you,
If you know right where to look…
If you read this riddle through.
I’m in something you might love
And on something you might see
In the front yard or in back.
Take a look and you’ll see me.
Little bugs crawl on my face,
And some worms dig down inside.
Where my wrinkles crinkle up,
There are places they can hide.
But now here’s a little twist…
I am somewhere else as well.
In a puppy? In a dog?
Read this riddle…it will tell.
If that puppy sees a cat
Climbing up the Aspen bough,
Then the clues will all spill out
Showing you where I am now. © 2013 TF
