Say won't you Say

A Hail Storm of a Day

Can I just say that I am completely baffled by Texas Weather! I've lived here my whole life and I still don't understand how it can literally change in the blink of an eye. Today, in a matter of no more than ten minutes it managed to go from cloudy and humid, to lightning/thundering and dark, to a golf ball sized hail storm that lasted about 2 minutes, slowly turning to Rain, and within minutes the sky was a crystal blue and the sun was shining bright as ever. I think this sort of weather pattern can much be related to girls emotions......go with me here.

The rollercoaster of inconsistency and uncertainty is how we as girls tend to be with our emotions. If you catch us on a high moment, untainted by outside sources of disappointment or bewillderment; we will more than likely be in high spirits and suceptable to perfectly normal social interactions with members of the opposite sex. On the other hand, it can only take moments for those positive interactions to turn into a "hail storm", if you will. One word, or look taken and completely blown out of proportion and over-analyzed to death, and down goes the sun and bring on the storm. However, with the right amount of redemption in the form of flattery, charm, or perhaps in witty banter ( or for some of us in the form of a ballad played on piano, followed by a lipsinging and dancing to Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" and anything Chocolate of course) and say hello to sunny skies once again. But know that we as women do have the right to fluctuate our emotions on a moment to moment basis, the Lord made us this way and it is one of the specific and unique differences between us and men. There's line in Sweet Home Alabama that Jake says, " I can't control her anymore than I can control the Weather." So true.
