The weather

The weather has been strange here. Sure the calendar says it January but it has lied to me before so I don't much trust it. The wind yesterday seemed annoyingly happy. It tossed my hair with ease and lifted all my friends feet right off the ground to soar though the clouds with the birds. Mine always seem frustrating heavy and gravity effected. My mood is dark and cold even when January is a warm as 68 degrees. Today the weather is strange too. Its still the wind that worries me. Like a movement of change blowing though my life, I never know what it will do next. What could you possibly do to me, wind, that would cause more pain and self doubt. You came for the ones I love now are you coming for me as well? Maybe I am just doubtful. Maybe the wind I see is simply part of me changing and moving like we all do. I guess there is no way to tell what the weather will do tomorrow. Maybe I will drown in a warm thunderstorm or even become strangely thirsty as the sun has no shield from my skin. I just cant tell until I wake and pear through my window, what lays ahead for my life.

The weather has been strange around here, too. I kind of like the warm temps in January. But I can also do without the wind. I like how you describe it as unpredictable - that's a good analogy with life.

The weather has been strange here, too, Stef. Spring-type days in January are nice, but they really make me wish spring were here for real. I love how you described your feelings about the wind and life. Very thoughtful post.

The weather is weird here too. Warm one day, cool the next, and now it is rainy. Strange huh? We are all having strange weather patterns.
