Do people get to become a sourpuss or are they born? Yesterday at the airport in Mexico, I observed a lady waiting for her husband. Her face was glum and her mouth was turned down and her forehead was frowning. Now I wondered if she was always like this or was this unusual for her to look so glum, or perhaps was she irritated with her husband? Ken and I were eating breakfast at an Italian restaurant and we were having a wonderful time. It was almost eleven o'clock and Ken was eating spaghetti with meat balls and I was eating Pizza, so no wonder we were loving life. The other aspect of our day was that we have fun at airports. We have nothing to do but enjoy our day, so I spy on people and Ken reads. And we talk. Several other times during the morning this same lady appeared, and her demeanor never changed. I wanted to ask her why she was so angry. Did she not want to leave the wonderful weather? Ken thinks that people have a predisposition to find the sad part of any event. You know the old thing about the glass half full or half empty. He thinks you are born with it. Now she may be the nicest person in the world, but as she is over 50, her face is probably fixed in place by now. She certainly presents an angry face to any stranger, and I bet she gets angry responses back.
Now last night in Bethesda the temperature was six degrees F. Today is very cold too. But the sun is shining, and any day the sun shines is fine with me. Now we go to the farm where it will be even colder. But we have very little snow in Washington, nor at the farm. We know the cattle have plenty of food and we hope that neither house has run out of oil. We will see. The hills of Western Maryland are always beautiful to see and we will enjoy the drive.
