It's amazing

I'm sure all you loyal readers are tired of hearing me talk about the weather. You know... complaining about winter and crowing with excitement over the arrival of spring. Well, I won't give you a weather report today, but all of this talk about weather did get me thinking. Isn't it amazing how much our lives are affected by the weather? There's a reason retirees flee the winters of the north to enjoy the warm sunshine of the south. There's a reason about a third of the local news is dedicated to weather forecasting. There's a reason we get depressed when we haven't seen the sun in weeks. There's a reason old people sit around and talk about the weather. That reason is simple... the weather affects every aspect of our lives. It affects our mood. It affects our daily activities. It affects decisions we make. It affects absolutely everything. So the next time you think the weather is just a mundane part of our lives, remember how much it affects.
