Sunny and 70° (I Was Made for Sunny Days · The Weepies)

     I have often equated my emotions to the weather.  In fact, for the past year or so I would joke about causing the weather.  You know that storm that knocked out the power and downed a few trees...me.  The sunny day that made you pack a picnic basket and head to the park...thank me.  The blizzard in April complete with a snow day...you got it...all me.  The weather and my emotions have had a relationship.  If the weather can be sunny and beautiful one day and the next cause major destruction then why can't little old me? 
     I am a little sky full of weather.  I can be gentle and kind like a warm summer breeze.  I can be the roughest storm you have ever endured.  I can be the quiet snowfall of a tender storm in January.  I think if my mind and spirit was a bit more inland maybe things would calm down.  But right now I am the mighty coastline.  One hour you can sip a drink on my sandy beach but the next you might just be running for your life from my lightning.  And I am starting to accept that it's okay.  I have had a lot of changes.  My jet streams and troughs and other various weather terms are all a flyin'.  I am no longer the kite being blown in the breeze.  Now, I am the actual forces surrounding the kite. 
     I think that the quick changing weather patterns are a part of the process.  I am taking each day, each hour, each moment for what it is.  I am looking and finding and growing and changing...always.  I am finding the present.  The ominous skies are no match for this brain.  The seasons and their moods are welcome.  I realize they are part of the journey.  Little by little I will become that place that has higher real estate values because of its weather and views.  Those sunny and 70's places.  I will have little stormy moments here and there to keep it interesting I promise.  I will give you snow days and sunburns and flash floods...but for the most part I will be the inspiration to take that walk.   For now,  I will welcome the seasons and all that they have to offer.  I also promise to cry less because it needs to stop raining!  (yep, that's me as well)
