For a rainy day 🌧️
Two years ago, I wrote about a day when my mood was at its lowest. I was feeling a deep sense of despair about a problem that had been part of my life for many years.
It rained heavily just like today, a yellow weather warning for storms in the UK. "Rain and tears" were the same.
While wondering what I could do to find my way back to my joyful self, a saying came to mind:
“Happiness is not getting everything you want, but enjoying everything you have.”
Of course, this doesn't mean we have to ignore our pain or force ourselves to feel happy when we're struggling. Sometimes, it's simply about finding a little space to notice what is still good, even on the hardest days.
Perhaps happiness isn't always about changing our circumstances. It begins with changing where we place our attention. 🌿
