Weather

Sunshine almost always gives your mood a little boost. A bright sunny day is the best in the midst of autumn when all the colors are highlighted on the trees. The air has a cool, crisp freshness to it that makes you want to take deep breaths outside.

Windy days are the best in the middle of summer when you are out by the pool with friends soaking up sunshine. Not only does it really cool off your body but it also soothes your mood. Trees sway back and forth as clouds overhead are transformed from one shape to another and birds glide through the air effortlessly.

Snow is somewhat of a mystery here in LA (lower Alabama) mostly because we don't know what real snow looks like after it hits the ground. Snow consists of a mushy mixture of icy slush which we are completely incapable of functioning in. A vacation day is almost guaranteed since traveling is impossible if even the slightest of ice is on the ground. Children and the children-at-heart are the ones who make the most of this infrequent occurrence.

Watching the rain puts me in a dreamy state of mind. Some people like to curl up on the couch and watch t.v. while others like to read a book. Still others take the opportunity to catch up on some much needed sleep. I don't want to sleep I just want to watch the rain.
