I'm trying not to complain...really I am

But could summer please come to Maine? I guess I should have known since we had snow in April that it would only feel like spring in July. But where did the sunshine go? As I go back and reread some of my posts I can see how affected I am by the weather. When it is what I expect it to be, I'm a happy little clam, but when it varies from the norm, I get frustrated and cranky. Silly, isn't it? Especially since I have zero control over the skies. I need to refocus on the things I can adjust---namely my disposition and my attitude.

Traveler: What kind of weather are we going to have today?

Shepherd: The kind of weather I like.

Traveler: How do you know it will be the kind of weather you like?

Shepherd: Having found out, sir, I cannot always get what I like, I have learned always to like what I get. So I am quite sure we will have the kind of weather I like.
