Hello Mo-Na!

It rained Tuesday in central Illinois … the kind of start and stop … pour and shine … spit and shower … the kind of day when you were certain Mother Nature just couldn't make up her mind. You were pulling out sunglasses one minute and running in search of cover the next. Yep, spring has sprung … a leak.

Well, Mo-Na (short for Mother Nature), it's time you join the millions of us human beings who are having trouble making up our minds in these goofy times. We don't know whether to laugh or cry some days, so we understand your indecision, too.

We're supposed to spend. We're supposed to save.

We're supposed to speed up. We're supposed to slow down.

We're supposed to take care of others. We're supposed to take care of our own.

We're supposed to believe. We're supposed to question.

We're supposed to cry sometimes because it's good for us. We're supposed to laugh much more because it's better for us.

We're supposed to have hope. We're supposed to face reality.

So, Mo-Na, it's okay to be confused. Do what you need to do to get by in this crazy ol' world. I am!

P.S. Next time, just give me at least 70 degrees to go with the rain, and I'll dance barefoot in the puddles in your honor.
