Our Own Weather Vane
This has been a very strange year, weather-wise. April
showers happened more in May. We hear
about intense thunderstorms and severe drought conditions in California. Snow
fell in the Great Lakes and the Northeast while Alaska is experiencing record
warm temperatures. Now the northeast is expecting intense summer heat in the
middle of spring.
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
National Weather Service map said predictability was low. Weather predictors on
the news are often wrong. Each day seems to be a guess as to what we’ll find;
we need to be flexible enough to deal with it.
Weather change is probably an apt metaphor for life in
general. Sometimes the sun shines brightly for us, sometimes it rains on our
parade. We can prepare for what life brings us by caring for ourselves. When we
feel frenetic, it’s a good time to stop and take a few deep breaths before
continuing on. We can plan for what we see coming but allow ourselves to
understand that things may change. We might take time out of our busy days to
take a walk or to exercise or listen to our favorite music, to dance, to smile.
Let’s set our inner weather vane to predict a good life whatever it brings our
way.
What’s going on with the weather?
