          I have always been a big weather fan.  I like playing along with the meteorologists as they assess the data and make their prognostications.  I am especially intrigued when the weather starts to act up and generates a major thunderstorm or dumps a huge winter storm in the big middle of everything.  Now, having said, this there is one thing that bugs me about the weather – I can’t do one single thing about it!  There is a reason for the old adage, “Everybody talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.”  The reality is that no matter how sophisticated our machinery is, nor how much we fret and worry about what might happen – there is nothing we can do to change the weather.  In fact, until we are actually in the event, even our planning is subject to major changes.
          The reason for this observation is to remind me (and maybe others) that while some planning for the future might be appropriate, we must be willing to accept the fact that sometimes we are just “passengers” or “adaptors” in some circumstances.  In all actuality, sometimes the only thing that we can control are our attitudes about being out of control.
          I hope we have a good weather week, but more than anything, let’s work on our ability to accept whatever life hands us with gracefulness.  Let’s be wise in the decisions we make and content with whatever comes our way.
Think About It!
