Day 179: Wind

So this is a Gratitude Attitude that is focused on taking something that makes me grumble and complain and finding a reason to be grateful for it.  (That's called making some lemonade people.)

I really hate the wind.  And today it is bad. It is cold, harsh, unrelenting. Oh I can't stand it. BUT it provides me the perfect opportunity to turn that complaint into gratitude.  So I did the first thing I could think of. I Googled "what does wind do for us" and here's what I discovered.  Wind can cool me off on a hot day (as long as the wind itself isn't hot...oh wait...I'm supposed to be positive), it provides energy that in turn creates electricity, it makes the leaves on trees sing a song, wind can blow away pollution, a Chinook wind can melt blizzard snows and usher in warmer weather.  That's about all I can come up with, turns out Google's entries weren't all that helpful to me.  But I like the song trees sing with the wind as their conductor and I do like the Chinook winds. I am grateful (or trying to be) for wind, it is part of the cycle of nature. It has its role to fulfill and without it I am sure I might be wishing for it!

Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa
