The view outside my office window
I woke up yesterday and looked through the kitchen window at the outside thermometer. It sat squarely on “Zero,” as in nothing…nada…no pulse! And to think my last post was talking about 38 degrees. I grumbled over how stupid “Zero” was. It means nothing. It’s the clothes size of most Hollywood actresses. Get real! Why do we have Zero?
But, since my second life is all about being positive (something Zero has trouble with), I decided to come up with why I really like Zero. I really, really like it.
Top Five Reasons I Like Zero
- It looks really good after the word “Balance” on my credit card statement.
- I love when it hangs out with 5 or 6 of its friends and follows a $ sign and some other number.
- It looks good leading % Down.
- It rocks under the score of any football team playing the San Diego Chargers.
- In front of “Worries,” it makes me smile.
It could be worse – much worse. My sister, Beth, lives on a farm in southern Idaho and they have been without heat for about 10 days!! She and her little miniture schnauzer, Kali, have been shivering under an electric blanket. I can’t imagine! I am making a wish for Beth and her family that Zero follows at least an 8 very soon!
How about you? What do you like about Zero? Let’s love Zero – today when the tempature was minus 3 degrees, I thought Zero was looking robust!
Live…laugh…love
I like zero when it presents itself in the form of a donut (like the chocolate iced one I had after lunch this afternoon with a cup of smokin’ hot green tea).
And the Zero calories are also nice!
I like zero when it is doubled and follows a 1, as in 100% correct. That’s what I like to be most of the time, LOL. Great way to look on the positive bad weather. I live in FL and at 50 I’m freezing. I can’t imagine what your sister is going through.
I like it! Maybe because I’m always right, too! LOL!!! After 20+ years in southern CA, I remember when 50 was freezing. Thanks for stopping by!
P.S. Think warm thoughts
I think zero is a pretty important concept math-wise… and it’s an interesting thing to think about. Where does nothingness fit in our world? Buddhists talk about emptiness which may be the same thing. But a temp of 0 is way to low for this weather wuss. 😉
See how great zero can be? It also shows how resilient we humans are. This former long-time San Diegan never would have believed I could live with zero degrees. I guess I’m de-wussified!
