Where I live is a pretty small place. I used to live in a bigger city (Mandan-Bismarck) but we moved for a job. Ever since we got here I have noticed weather here is more tempermental than it was there. Yes, North Dakota has weird weather all the time. At any point of the year, you can hear someone complaining about the weather changing too fast.
For the most part, it has been pretty hot in this part of the state ever since May. This week though, rain after rain and it is still hot so it is extremely muggy. It's making a lot of people crabby, and I can honestly say one of those people was me. Last weekend, Chris and I went to ribfest and it rained the whole time. At first, everyone else was super upset about it so I let that influence my mood and I was sort of crabby. Then Chris and I talked about how, when we were little, the rain never bothered us. We would play in it, dance in it, and it was just another day. So, I did. We finished the whole ribfest in rain and had a great time.
This week it chose to rain all week, but because it was muggy the rain was warm! I sat outside spinning around and looking up to Heaven smiling at God. It was beautiful. I remembered that we need the rain, even if it is making the humidity in the air attack my hair. I remembered to look at the positive side. I remembered, to be a kid again, and isn't that when you were the most natural?
