It doesn't take much to trigger a mood or an emotion when something awakens what has been stored away in the unconscious. We are under a Red Alert warning today, meaning a threat of severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, flash flooding, and straight-line winds. Having been battered in succession by straight-line winds, a tornado, a hurricane, and flooding over the past couple of years, the folks in my area can easily slide from precaution into fear and paranoia. Yet Oyster is a reminder that we all must deal with some grit as no one is excluded from unwelcome news or events. But I have a choice to let that grit rub me raw or to create a pearl by making the best of a bad situation.
When fishermen cannot go to sea, they repair nets.

Hope all is well and the storm blows itself out.
