The storm before the calm

Just as the storm cleared

Sometimes there’s a calm before the storm while other times there’s a storm before the calm.

This was the case the other day as I was walking home from work. When I left work the wind caused the snowflakes to slap me in the face from all directions. I could barely see and it was almost painful to walk against the wind.

But as I got closer to home the skies were starting to clear and the sun was peeking through the puffy clouds. It was such a relief.

That’s when I realized that there sometimes needs to be a storm before the calm, a way to clear the air so to speak. Then the calm comes.

  3. Totally! That after storm calm feels so much better. Makes you stronger. But that snow slapping you in the face, I’m having flash backs of standing at the bus stop in the winter when I was a kid. lol
