Love and Summer?

"A life without love is like a year without summer." - Swedish Proverb

Hmm ... when I first read this quote, I said: "That's bullshit." But then I got to thinking, Calgary didn't really have a summer this year (2009; honestly, does a week of +30 C weather count as summer? I don't think so) and it made me cranky and kinda gloomy. I mean, I love rain but I suppose I could've done with more sunshine and heat - would've meant more time outside to spend with friends.

So a life without love would make me cranky and gloomy?

Well, it's a good thing I've got a whole lot of love in my life. My family, my friends, my Twitter family ... okay, so maybe the quote is talking about that other kind of love, like "significant other" kind of love. I haven't experienced that kind of love yet, but for now I'm perfectly happy with the love I have.
