"Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Now that it is spring, the sun is finally appearing again. As much as I enjoy the sunshine and nice weather, everywhere I have lived (Northern VA, GA, Granada, Spain, and Pittsburgh) has had bouts of gloomy weather. I've found that certain seasons don't necessarily make me happy, though. What makes me happy are the details and memories of each special time of year. Christmastime is my favorite time of year because of the celebratory nature and the holiday spirit. If such a cold, generally dark time of year is also my favorite time of year, doesn't that mean that my feelings are not a direct reflection of the weather outside? I think that if I start to enjoy the festivities of life on a regular basis, life will become even more wonderful.
