The heat in the subway that we were swearing at a couple days ago is now welcomed and even praised once there is a change of merely 10 degrees in the weather.
Expecting that all other drivers on the road should understand our "I'M LATE, MOVE!" road rage and unquestionably get out of the way when, the very next day, we smirk with pride at the fact that we've just withheld the driver behind us with that very same (now beyond frustrating) attitude from going anywhere close to over the speed limit.
We've been waiting for the weekend All. Week. Long. And, once it comes, we're bored. Wishing for something more stimulating to do and not simply being appreciative of the down time we've been swimming up-stream to get to!
I would like to try and be more aware of this complex. Attempt to be more in the moment. Not always wish for things to be the opposite of what they are in the present. Remember that something I'm seeing negatively in one light usually has a positive side to it in another.
Now I'll probably be desperately denying this post come winter, as I stomp angrily down the roaring wind tunnel most refer to as Michigan Avenue... BUT, I must not forget about the comforting feeling of cozying up beside a warm fire, hot chocolate, ice skating and beyond soft hats and gloves!
Perspective, perspective, perspective.
So, I suppose you can consider it thankful Thursday..
Enjoy the cold, rainy day! ;)
