Weather pattern

The person who bemoaned the rain later remarked that the sun was too hot. Earlier in the week, it was too windy. Later, it wasn’t warm enough.

There’s a reliable pattern: the weather will change, and this person will complain about it.

We can practice two skills. One, widening the bounds of what we we consider reasonable and unremarkable. And two, learning to approach our environment as a capable participant, not an unwilling victim.

It’s also good to recall the wisdom that while we don’t choose the weather, we do choose our attitude towards it and we can choose what to wear.
