When it comes to writing, it makes sense that mood is affected by setting. Especially when we're talking playwright and then well, setting pretty much creates mood. Isn't it funny, though, when this same principal is applied to everyday life? Take today, for example...it's a rainy Tuesday and it seems that everyone in the office is dragging their feet in a ho-hum I feel drippy on the inside kind of way. You get my drift? People are super responsive to the weather. It's like their disposition is acutally dictated by it. Me, on the other hand, I woke up feeling "sunny" today, maybe my insides didn't match the outside, but my internal forecast is set to bright today and aint nothing gonna tear that down. I am making a concierted effort today to be in the moment. Be happy with exactly what is going on at any given place in time. As I sloshed to work today in my suede pumps, I smiled. I took a deep breath and said to myself, enjoy the rain, just be with it; and I did and I was. The power of the mind is outrageous. Keep telling yourself something and it's almost as if your body starts to catch onto those things. If you can do this, it's easy to feel positive in any weather.

very interesting perspective on the age old mind body duality of human existence... Kathleen comes out in favor of the spiritual subjective side which bears witness to an Ideal view of life...rather Platonic if you ask me...we may have a philosopher in the making here...smiles
