Weather Report by BJ Gallagher

"Any day I'm vertical
is a good day"
...that's what I always say.
And I give thanks for my health.

If you ask me,
"How are you?"
I'll answer, "Great!"
because in saying so,
I make it so.
And I give thanks I can
choose my attitude.

When Life gives me dark
clouds and rain,
I appreciate the moisture
that brings a soft
curl to my hair.

When Life gives me sunshine,
I gratefully turn my face up
to feel its warmth on my cheeks.

When Life brings fog,
I hug my sweater around me
and give thanks for the cool
shroud of mystery that
makes the familiar seem
different and intriguing.

When Life brings snow,
I dash outside to catch
the first flakes on my
tongue, relishing the
icy miracle that is
a snowflake.

Life's events and
experiences are like
the weather ___
they come and go,
no matter what my
preference.

So, what the Heck?!
I might as well decide
to enjoy them.
For indeed,
there IS a time for every
purpose under Heaven.

Each season brings its
own unique blessings....
... AND I GIVE THANKS!!!
