Life on Rural Street

I finished Traveling Mercies. It was definitely one of the best books I've read in a long time. I have to decide who I should pass it on to now because it's a book to be shared.

It is an absolutely beautiful day outside today. I love it. I find it amazing how much the weather affects my moods. I was in a good mood today and yesterday because it was nice outside. I could easily have thought of 60 things that should have put me in a bad mood though. And I honestly believe if the weather had been different I probably would have been in a bad mood. The more I think about it the more it upsets me that I let things such as the weather affect my disposition so much. It makes sense - but still. (John hates it when I say "but still..." so tell me if you do too and I'll stop. Ok, maybe not, but still)

I want to be able to look for "the good" in rainy days. Maybe that should be my new motto or life goal or something important like that.
