Weather

Like so many western countries around the world, here in Scotland the general populace has one favourite topic of conversation - The weather. And more specifically complaining about it. But I think it is time to reflect not on the negative aspect of a little too much rain causing a few puddles in the street, or a windy day blowing over a few daffodils in your garden and start to count our blessings we do not have the horrendous weather and natural disasters experienced by many around the world. We never get hurricanes, or tsunamis or earthquakes or bad tornadoes or serious flooding or volcanic eruptions or avalanches engulfing entire villages. Not for us the lack of fresh drinking water experienced by ¾ of the world’s population As lisa locket is fond of pointing out, It’s easier to see the negative things than to realise just what you have and appreciate it. . No, I think it’s time we took stock and saw that we are indeed blessed in terms of our environment.
