OH WOW, I love that!

I guess it's all in interpretation but I'm not so sure I agree with this one... I have a friend that just lost a child... I think she's gonna have some bad weather for quite a while.. not so sure she really has much control of the color of her skies for now.

I would think something more along the lines of "How a man weathers a storm, shows his true character". But thinking you can control storms or weather is a little too narcissistic for my taste; only gods have that ability. Plus, I've never been convinced that being happy or having good weather is what life is all about. Some of the most decent people I know live very depressing lives...

I think the key word in the quote is "emotional".No,we can't control what life deals us but we do control how we handle the bad as well as the good.We can dwell on the bad and never see the good,but only if we allow ourselves to do so.
Carla-I'm so sorry for your friends loss.Losing a child,whatever age they might be has to be one of the worse things imaginable.Please give her my condolences and a big hug from me.
