Did you ever notice how much your mood is affected by the weather? Sunshine lifts me up and makes me feel I can do anything, yet I love rainy days. It's the cloudy, gloomy days that somehow have the ability to weigh me down, to darken my perspective of the world.

Although I know that darkness and gloom can be readily dispelled by consciously opting for thoughts of gratitude and joy, the transition is not always easy. The oft-repeated Norman Vincent Peale quotation "Change your thoughts and you change your world" does have validity! 'Tis a great quote to keep in mind.
