Smile #14

Instead of luminous rays, I was greeted with dreary and gloomy weather.  The sun has been hiding behind a thick layer of cloud for the past two weeks.

During my drive each morning, under my breath, I would cursed the sun as the main reason for delayed traffic.  I cursed the sun for my depressed mood.  I cursed the sun for his absenteeism.

Until I came across Eleanor Roosevelt's quote on the bottom of my daily inspiration newsletter:

And the quote couldn't come at a better timing.

I began to focus on the glass half-full part.

The breezy weather is refreshing.  Its gentle blow is hinting at us that fall is arriving in just a few short weeks.  Roll down the windows and feel the wind.

Since the weather largely affects traffic, the gloomy outlook motivated me to stay longer at the gym.  My typically 45 mins gym trip turned into an hour and 15 mins workout.

Rain drop tapping my window, perhaps, is nature's best musical.  With its one-two rhythm, I quickly drifted off to sleep.

Although the sun's disappearance may disrupted normal routine; indeed, it make me more appreciative to other mother-nature's moods.
