Emotional "weather"

[cjsmith]

Sometimes my emotions have an obvious proximate cause. Other times I feel like they're some kind of weather system: today is gray and grim, instead of bright and sunny, and there's not a thing I can do about it.

This morning was gray and grim in a big way. (Maybe because yesterday evening was.) But I got to work a little early, found and fixed a bug on the server, and then went to eat Indian food with tiger_spot, and somehow by now the "weather" is much better.

I really like it when something like that lifts.

Notes to Self: Getting stuff done helps. Going outdoors helps. Social life helps.

I could use that same note to self, really.

Glad your weather has improved. It's a good way to look at things.

Funny how I can most easily remember those notes when I'm already feeling cheerful. Ah well!
