Mother Nature

 

Today I am grateful for Mother Nature!  Someone must have pissed in her oatmeal because she’s really done a bitch-slappin’ on our entire country lately.

Personally I think she’s trying really hard to get our attention.  Sometimes we take our creature comforts like heat and electricity for granted.  Mother Nature doesn’t like that so she reminds us what the pioneers dealt with.  She waves her magic wand and poof!  Frozen trees fall on electrical wires and we are forced to bundle up and remember.  Surprise!

She tries to tell us to turn-off, put-away and shut-down every time we have a techno glitch or can’t find our two billion chargers, or the electronics rebel and refuse our passwords. We don’t listen and she takes away our choices forcing us to TALK to each other of play board games where you need out-loud-words and a sense of humor. Ha Ha, take that!

 

She’s been trying for years to tell us to pay attention when we drive on the roads, especially highways; to  pull of the ear-pods and listen to our surroundings; to get our heads out of our butts and be aware of what is nearby; to STOP texting while going 80 miles an hour; to stop tailgating, or else.  “Else” came the other day when highways were closed because of too many accidents where people should have stayed home.

  

I believe she’s been trying to give our officials a message in Washington for years, but they haven’t been listening, either.  They shut down the government awhile back and she said, “Fine, if that’s what you want, here’s a gazillion inches of snow with a topping of ice.  That oughta shut you down on MY terms. . .and I hope it shuts you up, too!”  These are my thoughts solely and I am not affiliated with any political party, nor are any political parties funding my opinions or lobbying for the publication of my words.  Any pointed fingers are coincidental. Ha ha, again!

 

She’s shouting from her metaphoric window. . .”My name is Mother Nature and I ain’t gonna take it anymore!”  Mother Nature is a real bitch when she’s pissed. . .like now!  And she isn’t working alone!  I can’t wait to see what she comes up with for Spring!
