Sunshine thoughts on a rainy day

Classic British miserable day today. It's hard to be jolly & bright when the weathers miserable...you can kind of feel miserable & depressed with it can't you? I was walking at lunch time thinking such.

But then of course, that's just one way of responding to cloud & drizzle.

True - I can't will the weather to be better. But actually I can change my response to it.
"How would I feel if it were sunny?" I asked myself.
"Happy & free & blessed...pleasant & joyful" came the reply.
"And what stops you feeling that now?" I continued in my mild schizophrenia...
"Hmmm...umm......hmmm...not alot...apart from a belief (that restrains me)"

And so I set about being thankful that though the weather was depressing I'd be better not choosing to mimick it!
Not very British! Actually I felt quite African in that moment - sometimes you meet jolly Africans that seem to have a big smile on their face whatever (I don't limit that disposure to them but I think you know what I mean!). And I think those folks must have some beliefs that serve them well...so I'll work on cultivating the same.

And anyway - at 50,000ft the sun is shining!

Keep renewing my mind God - I'm lovin it!
