I just wanted to write something on the blog about this wonderful sunny day. I notice that people around me are more active, dress differently and even behave differently on sunny days including myself to some degree. People sit out on the lawn in front of the library, walk outside, eat outside and even smile more when the sun is out. While i love knowing that it is sunny outside and it does make me happy, i don't think that the weather should determine a persons happiness. Its all in your attitude about life.
An example of this was last week when Orem was hit with the biggest snow storm i had ever seen in my life. All my friends were complaining about the snow, probably because they had to drive in it and were not happy just because of snow. While i do not like snow i found in this particular example that you can find good out of bad things. It wasn't cold that day and actually the snow was beautiful to me. It made walking outside brighter and i told my friends so. I was happy that day. Have any of you experienced something like this?? do you agree with me??

Well I have to agree/disagree with you. It is all in our attitudes but I know that all too often I let my environment affect my happiness. Like if I am around gloomy friends and I come in all happy sooner or later I will end up all sad just like them. It is sad how we let our environment affect us so much but we do.
ReplyDeleteI have to be half and half as well with this because yes you can still have a great day with a snow storm, but at the same time we all get sick and tired of the snow late in the season. Our environment does have some attitude to this weather. I heard plenty of responses from my facebook about the snow and how everyone is ready to leave the snow behind and get ready for warm weather. I am just happy that it is finally warm and that spring is finally here. I guess that tells you that I didn't want the snow last week haha!
ReplyDeleteI have also noticed how people's moods change with the weather. I am definitly more outgoing and happy when the sun is out and it is warm outside. I don't see why we cannot be happy when it is gloomy and cold. I think it is harder to be happy when there is bad weather, but not impossible.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%. My roommates were insanely winy about the snow last week as well. I don't understand how people let something completely out of their control have dominion over there life. I grew up in Michigan and Minnesota, I have seen it snow in June! Big deal move on with life and make the best out of it. The weather can teach us all something, that being pay no mind to undue criticism.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you as well!!! But I have to admit I am one of the ones who doesn't necissarily complain about the weather but I don't like going outside when it is snowing and I don't take the time to enjoy it. Your right, it is beautiful!! I have come to believe there are two choices you can make in your life when you are given the opportunity. You can make the best of it and have a good attitude or be negative. When you make the best of it, you will notice the people around you also change their attitudes and it makes this world a much happier place :) So next time you are given the chance to make a decission, stop, and think of how you can make the best out of the situation.
ReplyDeleteI really like the sun, so even if there is snow on the ground, as long as there is sun shining it doesn't bother me.
ReplyDeleteI remember that snowy day way to well! My roommate and I walked out the door to go to class and it was like BAM snow everywhere!!! We were so shocked mostly because a path way at our apartment looked liked a completely different place and a couple of trees had fallen on some cars because the snow was so heavy. I was in more amazement than being sad that it had snowed. I mean it was the middle of APRIL!!! I like the snow because snow means snowboarding and you can't go wrong with that, but at the same time I love the sun and summers. I think that the time of year plays a big role in people getting angry over the weather. Like in this snowy case people are expecting spring weather because its that time of year so when a blizzard hits it can be a little depressing for some. Even though I like the snow I think it has overstayed its welcome for now until next winter!!!!
