Weather...

Have you ever noticed that when you wake up in the morning if it is cold and dreary out your mood will reflect that? The weather these past few days has caused myself and everyone I know to lack all motivation and generally be dull. Why do we let the sun and the temperature decide our mood? I've decided to try an experiment today considering there is somewhat of a blizzard and it is quite chilly. I woke up this morning knowing perfectly well that is was going to snow and that I would ultimately be dull and frustrated and all around crabby but instead of giving in to the less than perfect image outside my window I woke up and smiled. I made a cup of coffee, took a shower, and prepared myself for a day of warmth and happiness. I discovered that it works, you are in control of your mood and your outlook on everything. As I sit here I look out the window and see a whirl wind of snow and the trees blowing heavily in the wind and I am able to just smile and giggle. For I know that it will not stay this way and in a way it is beautiful and rare, in a month's time I will not be able to sit in this very spot and stare out this very window and see anything remotely like the image in front of me now. Your life and your mood is what you make of it, just smiling about nothing or the simple things in life can completely turn a day around... try it.
