Weather

One of the most tiresome conversations in the world is when people complain about the weather! I know when you have nothing to say some one it is a safe bet and polite to mention the weather, but complaining endlessly is just a waste of time.

We all mention the weather and we watch the new reports to see what to wear the next day. I guess I just can’t stand having to endure some one going on and on about something they have no control over it.


As it is I live in Southern California, known for its good weather. In my travels people ask me silly questions like “does it every really rain there?” referencing a song. I tell them yes, it does, but it seems to get better by the weekend. Sometimes is does feel that way. Looking at miles of shoreline helps pick me up, and feel like there are endless possibilities.

I question my own optimism sometimes and I have to think; maybe it has to do with where I live. I do get down sometimes, everyone does. But the fact of the matter here in SoCal, it will be sunny again tomorrow. Can things really be that bad? They will infact get better, right?

My friends who live in places with long winters don’t share my ‘sunny moods’ and they get the blues for a lot longer. They have months where they have to stay in and be quite and it too cold to go out. The winters are always this way and will be that way again. So they have such a different outlook on life, as if they feel things will get bad and then maybe worse.

It’s not that either is more correct. (Unless you ask people that think they are right and they will tell you what’s what. So don’t ask.) It just seems that if you live in a warmer area of the earth the people there are happier and friendly. The ones that live in colder areas can be warm, once you get to know them.

One thing I do know, I don’t go on and on about the weather. I like it when it warm and I love cold blustery days. I am just glad I am alive and live in So Cal; I know the rest of the country is so jealous. ;-)
