Perspective.

We're having a run of unseasonably wonderful weather. Yesterday's high temperature was upper70's/low 80's. It was warm in the sunshine but with a slight breeze blowing, the shade was just cool enough to perfectly compensate for the heat in the sun. It wasn't just a great day for Mid-March, it was a great day for May or June or August or October. People pay to live in a climate with weather like yesterday. What a glorious day!
As sometimes happens, I was asked to assist a friend by directing a funeral. The deceased lived into her 9th decade, seeing college graduations and marriages from her grandchildren.The family was supported by extended family and long time friends. I'm sure the family was relieved not dealing with rain, wind or cold as they said a final farewell to their loved one. Still, I don't think the family will ever describe yesterday as glorious.
