The days have become short cold and we have mostly grey skies and I long for clouds like these in blue skies. Fluffy clouds remind me of ice creams in summer. I complain so much about the heat and yet when it gets cooler I fall sick so often and start longing for warmer weather.
We always yearn for what we have not. The saying distance makes the heart fonder is so true. Memories seem even sweeter than reality. We tend to add a pink filter to our dearest memories and a grey one to those that aren’t as fond.
Memories sometimes become selective, we exclude those tiny details that bother us and fluff it up with the better parts of the memory. It is possible for people to fall into nostalgia trap especially for those caught up in loneliness.
Our mind acts in strange ways, sometimes it is hard to understand the workings of our own mind.

The proverbial grass always looks greener on the other side. It applies to seasons as well.
You’re right it is indeed the proverbial grass being greener.
My mind often wanders all through the year.
Do you catch your thoughts and bring them back to reality or just let it wander?
I find that I often drift in winter. It isn’t intentional, but the cold makes me wander off in my mind.
Hmm.. I didn’t realize that cold had that kind of an effect on the mind. Good to know this.
sadly it has to do with what your cortex is focused on. When it is hot your mind wanders as well!
Whenever I long for something that saying comes to mind ‘If wishes were horses beggars would ride’ (lol)
LOL now with that you would touch down to reality.
Here almost cloudy and expected rain by tomorrow
Today is sunny and nice here. Hopefully we will have good weather tomorrow.
I wanted sometimes to be an answer. Those clouds looked quite fluffy. I would have taken that over our dark clouds full of snow today!
Yep those clouds do look fluffy and lovely. I know how you feel.
