Weather fears


10 years ago 0 6252 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Ambulances are very heavy and very stable and required to have good tires. They have been to my place in a snow storm. They have taken me to hospital in conditions that were unbelievable. You are not going to have a heart attack, but if you should break a leg they will be able to get you to the hospital. If your neighbour has a heart attack, they will get to him. 

This is "What if" thinking and it works both ways. Once started down the negative road all your what ifs will be negative. 

Life takes a lot of sifting because so much of what happens around us is artificially painted negative. Repetition and conditioning have a subconscious affect on us. The important thing is that it all passes. Today is all that matters, the past is only information now, the future possibility.

I also fear the weather.
I think that if the roads are bad enough an ambulance won't be able to get through "IF" i have a heart attack

There is a place I call useta. (used to) It is where I send all my fears that are a waste of time. It is where I store all the stupid things I have done.

Having grown up on a large lake I became well aware of weather and was for the most part prepared. No one but a fool would take a small boat out into a storm intentionally.  No one would wait till they were out of food either, so it is basically preparation. So do you hate the weather because it causes you to have to be prepared and everything else just adds to the anger or is it an actual problem because it affects your health. 

The price of gasoline is based on supply and tax. The tax is what pays for road maintenance. We pay higher gas prices because we have fewer people and more road. Luckily we are subsidized to cover city people driving on our roads. User fees would see to it that high users paid more but all those toll booths would be a pain. Tax is as close as it can get to even. The unfair thing is that big trucks which wreck the roads get their tax back.

Maybe it's not just my poor sleep bothering me.  I don't like where we're living, and how I have to deal with neighbours dumping snow on our property, and then feel stranded and clausterphobic. 
 
I want freedom to be able to use the roads that we pay taxes for.  I'm just unhappy, I guess about not sharing the passion of being a skier or snowmobiler or snowboarder or skater.
 
Good thing is I get some activity, and it adds up to vitality.
 
I'd rather not use my emotion for silly confrontations with people who hide, and shovel thinking I'm too stupid to know they've dumped their snow on our property.
 
Maybe if snow fell in different colours on different lots it would be different.
 
I don't think my sleep was as nourishing as I'd hoped.  But I sure had some deep nightmares, and that's on the road to dreaming and good sleep.
 
I wonder if anyone else fears the weather?
