Consider: it is a sunny day.
aha, time to put some washing in machine - a good drying day today.- ooh! time to hit the beach...
- Groan. I hate my job. How is it I am inside during weather like this?
- I wish I could get out of bed and be in the sunshine.
- Another day without rain. How will the crops grow? How will we eat?
I could probably have found a better sentence to illustrate my topic, but that was the one that passed through my mind this morning.
So much affects our outlook on life in its multi-facetedness.
Our location, climate, money, provisions, health, family, need, culture.
We are defined and affected by so many things, and each of these alters our perspective.
And sometimes a new awareness will change things completely - we are overhauled, undermined, and suddenly see life with new eyes.
So much depends on perspective.

You are so right..a sunny day can make all the difference to morale, grey skies can make it a grey-feeling day.
A brilliant post. I may use this idea with some of my literacy students on Thursday!
Now I shall stop procrastinating and make the tea. Hope you got your potatoes mashed!!
I decided to take a leaf out of my mother in law's book and put them in the food processor for a change. That certainly zapped them!!
It is said that attitude is 99% of what makes us happy in this life. Great post. God bless, Lloyd
