Storms

There's always another storm.  It's the way the world works.  Snowstorms, rainstorms, windstorms, sandstorms, and firestorms.  Some are fierce and others are small.  You have to deal with each one separately, but you need to keep an eye on what's brewing for tomorrow.
~ Maria V. Snyder

This quote could be the motto for a person's life.  Hopefully keeping an eye on what is brewing for tomorrow doesn't take too much away from today - from this moment right now.  If we live in either fear or anticipation of the future, we miss out on key moments.  We miss out on our entire lives.
 
The above could also be a motto for meteorologists.  And since anticipating storms is literally the work of their lives, maybe they wouldn't be missing out on as much.  Or maybe their work would make them miss out on their lives.
 
They wouldn't be alone in that.
