It can't rain all the time...

"Weather can affect your life. Think about a time in your life when you have been affected by some kind of weather."


Weather really does effect me more than I like to truly admit. I have been diagnosed as photosensitive, so where a bright, nice, cheery, sunny day might seem great to some people, I'm usually miserable with a headache. I try to stay indoors on days like that, or at least relocate to a nice shady area. Sunglasses are usually a plus in this situation. Although, if it's a nice spring, sumer, or autumn day nice and warm with a cool breeze, I usually can't help myself and find myself walking around outside and enjoying the feel of the warm sun on me and the nice breeze.


Slow, drizzly rainy days usually make me feel tired. When I was growing up, my mom would always call these kind of days "snappy-nappy days" because it was the perfect time to catch up on some much needed rest and just relaxed and re-cooperate from the stress of life's daily routine. I would often just lay around the house and catch up on some reading or drawing and just take it easy on days like that. 


During violent rainstorms/thunderstorms the energy int he air is electric (no pun intended). I have so much energy on days like that. I'll go outside and just let the winds and rains take me. it feels almost cleansing. Now this could be because of the natural energy in the air and the force behind such weather patterns or this could be because I am a practicing pagan and have come in tune with the weather and how it effects me. Either way, these are the days where i usually get stuff done. I'll clean the house, do the normal household chores and such and just be overly productive. Sometimes I just seem to have too much energy at this time and end up feeling like a caged animal, but after going for a walk in the rain i usually calm down and ground myself.


As for snowy days, it really depends on the snow. If it's just barely flurries, i usually get upset because it's cold and gross and not even enough snow to make it a winter wonderland. I really do enjoy a nice snowy night. I think it's oddly romantic. it's the perfect time to cuddle up to your sweetheart, or go for a quiet, peaceful, romantic walk in the frigid winter air. 


It truly is amazing to think at how much weather can truly effect us.
