Thank goodness the sun has finally come out and the air is warm. It has been FREEZING (for California anyway) the past month, but the last few days have been gorgeous.
I generally love the rain. I was born during a rainstorm, and I love waking up in the middle of the night hearing rain beating down on the roof. But something about a warm sunny day after a cold spell is magical.
It must be my years in Santa Barbara. The hippie in me comes out when it's warm and sunny, and I just want to lounge around in the sun. Another important thing I learned in Santa Barbara, though, is that I can't stand weather that's constantly the same -- I need a little variety.
I think this quote by Anne Bradstreet says it best: "If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."
That's true with regard to many aspects of life. It's during the times when things are tough that you realize how good you had it before (and hopefully will have again).
