Weather Or Not

The hot summer sun and occasional humid day seem like a wonderful deviation from that which we have been having: cold, rainy, overcast, and miserable for May. I'm a person who usually takes most weather in stride, so long as it isn't to the extreme. But many people do not see things this way. If the weather isn't to their liking, they complain to the skies, as if speaking up will somehow change that particular day's weather. The weather does not listen to us very often, not even weathermen or women, who seem to know what the weather will be, and then it decides to rebel and go another direction; sometimes for the best, but sometimes for the worst. Apparently, at my sister's "Continuation," or graduation from 8th grade, her principal said something quite insightful,(which is unfortunately rare for him). I'm not sure of the exact quote (as I was not present), but he said something to the effect of, "You can't change the weather, you can only change your attitude." Doesn't that change your perspective on things? I think it means that no matter what circumstances we are facing, and no matter how many "rainy days" we have to endure, we should always try to find the good in them, and look at them positively. Besides, sometimes dancing in the rain or making snow angels in the snow is much more fun than moping inside wishing it were warmer. So come on, let's get out there and have a little fun, even if the weather forecast doesn't call for sun!
