I recently asked a lady who moved to Colorado how long it took her to adjust to the sporadic weather, which I'm having difficulty with since living in Southern California. She replied, "It took me five years." Curious about that, I asked, "What happened at five years." She simply stated, "I quit complaining."
The weather did not change nor did it become less sporadic. She simply "chose" to stop complaining about it and move on.
How simple a principle. Try applying it to life...not as easy. BUT, it can make a big difference in our perspective, thereby changing "us," which is all we have control over.
So, I will attempt to embrace our 80 mph winds when they come and see the beauty in snow that falls in May. The wind blows the weather out or new weather in, and the snow brings well-needed moisture to the Rocky Mountains so that we may not thirst.
