Today is the first official nice day we've had in our area. It's the first day that really feels like Spring and it feels AWESOME. I feel happy, motivated, energetic. So I got to thinking... How much does the weather impact my mood and the mood of others?
I know I loath winter because for 4 months straight the only colors as far as the eye can see are black, white, and a little mud brown. If it weren't for that bright spot of Christmas it would be 4 months of soul crushing monochrome despair. As Lewis Black once put it "Every day it just gets grayer and grayer. Then one day you think it's the grayest day ever. Then the next day... it's even grayer!! At some point I start to think I should slit my wrists just to see color!"
Rainy weather makes me feel relaxed and sleepy. Sunny weather makes me feel motivated and energetic. Snow makes me feel "Why the hell don't I live further South??" Snow is completely depressing to me.
(Off topic, I LOVE Christmas. The decorations, the music, the cheesy movies. By July I'm in Christmas withdrawals)
