Stop Whining!

Be Happy!

I walk every day for several miles. On my walks I see people and greet people and sometimes, spend time talking with people. The one thing that bothers me is that someone is always whining about the weather.

Get over it, guys. We live in a temperate zone. There’s going to be heat in the summer and cold in the winter. There’s going to be sunny days and rainy days and cloudy days and stormy days. Maybe even snowy days and ice storms. It will be hard to walk and you’ll spend time with a snow shovel. Driving will be difficult. But, that’s life.

How boring would it be if all our days were the same? Sunny and 72 degrees. Rain every five days. No hurricanes, no thunderstorms, no hot and humid afternoons?

Like the rest of our lives, our weather is random and it changes with the seasons. Change is part of life.

We are not robots and we do not live in a perfect world. Some are fat, some are thin. We have black faces and white faces, Oriental faces and Native American faces. Some are smart to a genius level, others struggle just to learn math or to read. Tall people, short people. Some are gifted athletes, others sing Country-Western tunes, rock and roll, or Opera.

Here in this country, we have the freedom to pursue our own goals. We can become Doctors or Accountants or Teachers. We can join the Military or become Social Workers. It’s all up to us.

So, take a deep breath and be thankful for what you have: Freedom to pursue your own dreams. Freedom to marry, to have children or stay single. To buy a house or rent, to attend church or spend your Sunday at a beach or bar.

Stop whining! Enjoy life
