The Weather Is What It’s All About.

I’ve told you already about living in the country. If you live in the city chances are you don’t notice the weather as much as we do. For example if it doesn’t rain much all my grass stops growing and my cows have nothing to eat.

So the weather is a big part of life in the country and today the weather is superb.

Don’t you love days like today, I do? It’s just as I like it,  beautiful. Warm but not too hot  at all,I hate heat. There’s no wind and it’s just ideal. I love it like it is today. I’ve been out in the car and I’ve been feeling good. I drive along looking at the superb views and I love it here where I live. I see cows in the fields and happy  people.

But of course I’ve decided that it’s a perfect day but maybe not everyone would agree with me. Maybe for some people it’s just a bad day. Really a bad day. Maybe you’ve had some bad news or something isn’t working out for you at all or maybe you’re  sick.

Now of course thats myinterpretation. For many people today might be a really terrible day. Perhaps you’ve just had some really bad news for example, or just feel bad. Maybe you’re trying to do something that isnt working out. Maybe you just don’t feel well at all.

So I wonder what it is that makes it such a good  day for me and what it is that might make it such a bad day for you.  It’s not about the day itself is it? It’s the same day for me as it is for you too. I see the sunshine, maybe you don’t see it. I see the cows in the fields but maybe you don’t even notice them at all.

What is that makes a good day for me and a terrible day for you. Its me and you, its how we see it all from our own perspective. Its nothing about the day at all, its about how we see the day. So I see sunshine, I see the cows, I see the peoples and more.

Isn’t it just in our heads? Isn’t it our mind that tells us it’s a great day or a terrible day? Isn’t it irrespective of how the day really is? We filter our experiences of the day through our minds and we see if from our own perspective.

I even think it’s possible that if you and I have the same experience of the day we will see it completely differently. You come for a drive with me and we see different things the 2 of us.

You see the same cows as me, the same sunshine, the same people, but maybe you don’t even see them at all. Maybe you see something totally different. You mind registers the same things as mine does, and records it, but it filters all of it through the experience you’ve had in the past and mine does that, and that makes our experience of the days different.

I Live Where I Live, The Country.

Where I live is very important to me and it’s a big part of who I am. I’ve chosen where I live very carefully and am very happy with my choice.

Eeveryone can choose where they live and that’s exactly what I’ve done.

I’m lucky enough to live out in the country and I just love living in the country. I’ve lived out here for 3  years now. And I grew up in the city but I wouldn’t really want to go back to the city any more.

And there’s so much here in the country that you’ll never see  living in the city. Here’s an example. Cycling. I love to ride bikes and it keeps me fit which is so very important. But it’s good for so many other reasons. It gets me outdoors to places that are so good to be in.

And riding gets you out where you see so  many things that make it worthwhile. I love to see all of the sheep and cows in the paddocks. Actually I have my own cows and sheep and I love that and I even get calves.

There’s so many other advantages to living out here and cows and calves at my house is just one of them. It’s nature and I love to see nature.

Now it’s summer and it’s so very hot I can feel it right through my feet. There’s  been some hot weather and it’s getting on top of me, I don’t like the heat much. Of course it would still be hot  even if I lived in the city but here it’s still better. I see lots of nature, I see the seasons come and go and I see things like the grass start to grow  and stop and the leaves fall off the trees and start to grow again.

All of the leaves turn such great colors, and then they fall off and they look so good on the ground around the base of the tree, and the trees drop seeds and new baby  trees start to grow underneath them. I ge t to see the old and the young, all cycling like me.

Nature cycles just like I do, and I love to watch it all happening right through the year in front of me.

If I lived in a city I mightnt even have a garden at all. I mightn’t have a tree. I might have a lot of concrete though, I might have pavers and a BBQ, but I mightn’t have a tree or a blade of grass anywhere.

And unlike here I probably wouldn’t get to see the seasons change.

Personally I think it’s very sterile in the city and of course that’s just my view, not everyone thinks  that.

My family lives in the city and they love it. My brother is a doctor and he’s still single, so he likes the social life of the city. There’s things to do there that he’s into, and it suits him. But the city is not for me I have to say.
