Turning Your Hat Into The Wind

The other day I heard a cowboy say “There’s an art to turning your hat into the wind”.

And like any true cowboy his statement includes practical and enlightened advice.

No cowboy wants to loose his hat while horseback and so one learns the right angle to keep said hat upon said head.

But I think there’s something else to it.

As far as we humans have advanced and figured out how to control so many things, we still have no way to stop the wind. It’s truly an unstoppable force of nature.

So when life’s got you headlong into a stiff wind, turn your hat just so and let it pass.

Remember, the wind can’t blow forever. (Wyoming might be the exception )

And as the incomparable Henry Ford said; “When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”

With gratitude.
