The Weather - Thus far.......

I could not ignore it anymore. Facebook, Twitter, every Ontario news publication...July, wettest summer on record...where's the sun?...more clouds...what? more rain??....flooding, hail, wind. I was half expecting the Four Horsemen to arrive. But you know what? We love bitching about weather - hot, cold, dry, humid, windchill, and humidex all.

Sitting on my little porch in Blue Mountain, shorts, t-shirt, finishing a lovely '05 red and a mini cuban, breeze moving the evergreens and pines, is when it hits me. What in the good lord liftin' do we have to complain about?

I asked myself a few questions, just to clarify my situation;
1) Am I sweating? No
2) Am I uncomfortable? No
3) Am I sunburnt? No
4) Am I wearing a parka? No
5) Am I wearing insulated muckluks? No
6) Am I wearing shorts? YES
7) Is it snowing? NO
8) Do I have to worry about watering my lawn or plants? NO
9) Can I BBQ? YES
10) Can I see my breath when I breathe? NO

So for all the Facebook whining, Twitter complainin', Digg This wailin', this blog's for you! It's one thing you CAN'T control, so appreciate what you have, enjoy the moment, keep the one's around you smiling, and make it the most enjoyable time you can. No matter what the weather is like outside, it will always be sunny where you make it.
