Seems to me that some people are usually finding something to complain about. Either the weather, their job, their neighbors, etc.,etc., etc. Some people would complain no matter what. My mom used to say "that person would complain if you spit in their ice cream." What it all boils down to is that some people need to find something good to say instead of looking for something or someone to talk about. If you can't think of anything good to say then DON'T SAY ANYTHING. If you can't leave folks with a smile on their face then you need an attitude adjustment.
It has come to my attention,
That all's not as it seems;
For people see things differently,
Describing the same scene.
Some may find the howling wind,
A mournful, restive cry,
While others may describe it,
As a peaceful lullaby.
Some people find the rain drops,
Upon their window pane,
Monotonous, annoying,
And dreary, cold the rain.
A sunny day is sweltering.
Some find it way too hot.
Others say enjoy the warmth,
Relaxing on a cot.
A neighbor may keep to himself,
Seems rarely to go out.
Some will wonder 'bout this man,
Just what is he about.
A lady seems so happy,
Outgoing, so care free.
Some will say that she's a flirt.
Not a lady she.
It really doesn't matter,
What could be the situation.
Some will see the goodness,
And others consternation.
You're more at peace within yourself,
And happier by far,
If you step around the puddles,
And don't look for snags and barbs.
