Summer is trying to arrive


So it is now June 2nd and Seattle is really trying to be sunny. We get our typical 3 - 4 days of rain and 2 - 3 days of sun. I like the sun to motorcycle in but I learned a long time ago when i lived in New York that to appreciate the sun you have to have the rainy weather.

When I was 19 I moved from perpetually sunny Tucson, Arizona to Manhatten, New York. I noticed that not everyday had clear skies and that when there was a sunny day everyone came out, they were happier and sat outside and just radiated contentment. Its because they knew thay had to take advantage of that rare occurance.

So without the challenges or the crappy times we wouldn't value the good times. I just told a good friend of mine that nothing is destroyed it is just changed.

Now to remember that whenever challanged.
