The Somber Call to Laze About

It's odd, isn't it...how the weather affects us? A cloud cover has the debilitating power to enact...INaction in us. Let's be straight: what really is it that can cause us to abandon the call of productivity or even entertainment? By some mysterious force, we are influenced to procrastinate, nap, enjoy the telly...all in all, we fall into a stagnation difficult to overcome once we've slipped deep enough into its seductive grasp.

And of course, as you well know, the lack of sunny rays affects the swing of our moods too. Poor sweet June...with a penchant for weddings, graduations and fathers. Instead of bearing a descriptor that reflects the positivity its namesake might conjure, her sweet nickname is afflicted with negativity, as it bears the distaste we have for the affliction of overcast skies: JUNE GLOOM.

Gloom it is, dear friends. Cheers to both the opportunity to meander in the melancholic spirit of gray days and the overwhelming joy we feel upon the triumphant return of blue sky and white cloud. May our adoration of sunny days hasten their coming.

To be born in June is the true test of " JUNE GLOOM ". Having two personality's as a twin of June give's you a differant feel on thing's. The saddness in your deepth's of your soul on those cloudy days ! The fight to want to do anything, the fight to do nothing....But the Sunny day's, why is everybody so happy?? I love sunny day's couldn't live without them..But everyone else is so happy how do you find THAT happiness?? Being born in June is always a Tale of to City's, two personality's that both want their own time their own space. To have them both happy at once, will it ever be??
