I was watching the weather report last week and was surprised to see ‘Weather Alert’ scroll across the bottom of the screen – surprised because I was sitting in front of my TV in a tank top and gym shorts. The anchorman was filming on location to demonstrate the ‘bad weather’. He donned a poofy parka as if he were standing in the armpit of Alaska. He held up a giant thermometer that hovered at 60 degrees and lamented about the ‘frigid’ weather.
Hey buddy – its 60 degrees. Residents in other states call this a heat wave.
In this economy, it’s easy to complain about our ‘sad, sad’ lives as Americans but compared to the rest of the world, we’re pretty darn fortunate. I didn’t get shot at, my house hasn’t been bombed, a tsunami didn’t harm my family, I was able to eat today (though probably too much), and I can worship as I please.
Thank you anchorman. Thank you for reminding me that, even with no job and bills filling my mailbox, life ain’t all that bad.
Smile America… it’s 60 degrees.
