Cabin Fever



Last week Wednesday, we had a pleasure of it snowing in the south.  We received at least 7 inches of snow.  It was a beautiful thing to see.  As a result, my family and I, along with everybody else, were stuck indoors for at least about 4 days because of the icy patches on the roads.

For me, it was not a problem.  But for some people, it drove them crazy!! There were several people who posted on facebook about how they wish the snow and ice would just disappear and they are so tired of being stuck indoors.  Many of them even posted about having a case of cabin fever.

According to dictionary.com, cabin fever is defined as irritability, listlessness, and similar symptoms resulting from long confinement or isolation indoors during the winter. Cabin fever can be a state of mind.  Just like any other circumstance or situation, your state of mind is what can lift you up or pull you down to the point of insanity. 

There are some things we cannot control.  It doesn't matter how mad or upset you may get.  Sometimes it is what it is.  For example, the fact that the roads were too dangerous for me to travel on would not have change if I were crying about not being able to drive to wherever I needed to go.


The best thing to do is to be patient and let things work out in God's own perfect timing.
