It rains a lot here, at least way more than it does in America. Some people feel like the weather can affect your mood and let me tell you, I am one of those people.
To be completely honest, I don’t like rain. I love sunshine. I love warmth. I love lying on the grass looking up at clear blue sky. I knew coming to Ireland I was going to have to bring a rain jacket, but what I didn’t know was how I was going to be able to put up with it.
Rain makes my mood instantly worse for absolutely no reason at all. I know you’re thinking, isn’t that going to be huge problem for me? After a few weeks went by being here, I realized something had to change and it wasn’t going to be the rain. It had to be me. So I decided to look at it as the rain is what makes Ireland such a beautifully green place and being in this beautiful place puts a smile on my face.
Moral of the story, the rain should make me happy because this place makes me happy and it wouldn’t be as amazing as it is without how green the island is.
The point of this that we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them. Your life is as good as your mindset.
