Keeping things in perspective - even the weather

The tag line on my blog says, "Points and perspectives as innkeepers and inhabitants of Port Wing, Wisconsin."  Today's blog will be in the form of a "perspective" on the relative importance of weather.

It's snowing again today.

And like most people in the Midwest, we're all pretty sick of snow and cold.  But, even though it's very bleak and gray outside, from my perspective here - safe, warm inside, don't have to go anywhere - I just can't get too down about our "spring" weather.  It's still so pretty.

And it provides us fun things to look at outside our windows.

And what completes this perspective on the weather for me are all the other bigger concerns out there that don't come close to weather worries.  Just like everyone else, I'm sure, we have people in our lives who are dealing with various stages of cancer treatment.  We're waiting for word today from Leann's sister, Kristi, whose cancer we now know has returned, and another friend is having a new treatment today for breast cancer that has spread.  And we think about the other people in our lives with other health problems and concerns going on in their lives.

So when you balance it all out, yucky weather is just that - yucky.  And it will pass.
