Weather

Why does rainy weather make you feel like you want to stay home in bed? On days like today, I often hear my mom say she’d rather stay home from work and do some baking and put a kettle of soup on the stove for dinner. Is that just a mom/girl thing? Sometimes I hear older people say that when it rains, it makes their bones ache. Do bones really have feeling? I sat for a minute … I can’t feel my bones at all.

I was reading a story on line that said there was a slight tie between weather and mood. I tend to think that maybe they need to go back and do some more research. Personally, I think that there are many different aspects of weather that play big influences on many areas of our lives. From whether or not we go outside to how our bodies feel, weather makes a difference. If it’s humid, more people tend to stay indoors in the air conditioning and if they go outside, I know for me personally, I tend to be a little more easily agitated. Humidity causes me not to sleep as much too if we don’t have the ac on in the house. Sometimes I can even feel lazier when it’s humid.

Likewise, when it is rainy or cold, you tend to stay indoors and it makes you feel gloomy and unproductive because you can’t do anything outdoors. What you can do indoor is limited and if it’s raining…who wants to get wet every time they walk from a building to a car or car to a building! I didn’t research this but I would put my money on more births happening in the spring and summer months because it’s cold outside and not much else to do in the winter…

Every year, we change the clocks in spring and fall. When there is more daylight hours, people tend to be happier and more energetic because there is more hours for them to do things in. Sunshine always puts a smile on people’s faces. It makes you warm and fuzzy all over. So many things can be done when the weather is nice and sunny…beach time, picnic/park time, vacation time!

And wait…what about allergies!!! Who could forget that!!!

Anyway…maybe I’m not so far off. This week…I feel like doing NOTHING. Maybe my teachers will feel the same way and give us no homework!(407)
