The sun has been out consistently for a while in my neck of the woods
With it has come the bright smiles of my colleagues at work, friends with uplifting news and random strangers on the street who suddenly feel comfortable striking up a conversation
Weather People
The sun effects us all in different ways but one of the generic ways I’ve observed people are effected is in the ‘sunny’ disposition it generates
People seem happier when the sun is out – either that or they become very bothered by ‘too much’ sun, but that’s another post entirely
If the sun has that capacity, to bring a joyful outlook merely by showing up then imagine you had your own inner ‘sun’ within
You do
We all do
Your smile and positive outlook doesn’t have to disappear when the sun does
You can keep your own weather system within – you already do
Have you ever met someone who no matter what is happening externally, no matter how great things are going, they find a way to dampen the mood? They find a reason to complain?
Have you ever met the opposite type of person? Even when it seems all is falling apart in their external reality, they somehow manage to find the good? They manage to put a positive spin on things?
Both people are strong inner weather people, their internal system is just firmly set in opposite ends of the same spectrum
The rest of us fall somewhere in the middle, sometimes we love to find things to complain about and on other days we work hard to not allow anything to bring us down
I guess for me the goal is to keep moving my needle closer and closer to the ‘sunnier’ side of life
Not so I can only think positively and never acknowledge that bad things happen (they always do) but because I notice that I enjoy this life ride a lot more that way
And since death is the only way I’m getting out of this, I aim to enjoy this ride for as long as I can while it lasts
Enjoy the sun
Better still, bring it with you from within 🙂
Be well
