this past thursday, i was visiting with a pretty good friend. we laughed a lot, drank hot chocolate and watched a movie. we were talking about the weather. seriously, it’s what ohioans seem to do in the weather. but we were talking about it being so cold. and i mentioned that while yes, it is cold, why not enjoy it now? in four months it will be gone and the heat will be back in full force.
he looked at me and said, “that’s good. you will always be happy with that attitude.”
and it made me think. if we just all stopped and took a moment to appreciate where are and in the time we are in, we would be so much more happier. instead of complaining that it’s cold or hot or raining or snowing; why not try your best to enjoy it?
so while there are people complaining about the cold (when four months ago they were complaining about the heat) i am going to be thankful that i live in a place where it snows. where it is hot and where the leaves and flowers change twice a year. because why not be happy all the time? all it takes is the right attitude.
