Here Comes the Rain
As I drove to the office this morning for a brief moment I found myself complaining about the cold and wet weather. As I began to reflect on the situation I remembered a quote I heard years ago from a seasoned Vermonter. He told me that:
It is now the 23rd and thus far I have spent more time outside in the sunshine than ever before at this time of year. Church St has been bustling with people enjoying the unseasonable weather that 2010 has provided. Numerous bikes & motorcycles can be seen on the roadways, more dogs & owners are in the parks shedding their winter weight, & the general mood of everyone is a little more positive and upbeat. So over the next few days I encourage you to either ignore the rain or enjoy it, because complaining will never get you anywhere.

"in order to maintain sanity the weather should never be complained about. It should only be enjoyed or ignored."As I drove on attempting to ignore the rain beating on my windshield, I thought about how the month of March has fit in to my 18 year history in the State of Vermont. Traditionally, March has been the month where winter has really begun to wear on me. The cold and snow, while fun and refreshing at first, is usually wet and persistent by early spring. When possible I have planned tropical vacations in March in order to offer myself relief from the long Vermont winter. Thankfully this year a vacation was not in the cards.
