What is your favorite type of weather? I prefer the sun in the sky. With a gentle breeze blowing through. A soft warm seventy. Maybe a white fluffy cloud or two. But I prefer the sky to be blue.

Fine is…
There’s an automatic word that comes to mind when I think of this question. One that’s easy to slip on the lips. A lie that often doesn’t get taken back.
