Yay! After several cloudy, gloomy, rainy, cold days it looks like the sun is starting to shine. I don't know about you, but I love sunshine. It changes my whole outlook and motivation level. This week we've had an abundance of rain. The positive take on that is -- I haven't had to water my garden. And my rain barrel is full. I've got more than 110 gallons of watered stored up for watering.
There's not much rain in the 10 day forecast so the stored water in the rain barrel will be a blessing as I use it to water the thirsty plants in the days ahead. Maybe the lesson in this is that we need to fill our minds with the positive things in our lives - good memories, love, positive feelings, happy moments - so that they're there to help us get through the dry spells. This is what the Happier app that I wrote about here is trying to help us with. You don't need an app to do this but you do need to make a conscious effort to capture the blessings in your life. It will help you get through the gloomy days until the sun comes out again.
