Sometimes it worries me just how much my moods seem to follow the weather, but I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this.
In first year, our singing tutor [those of you who know me, yes, singing lessons, yes, you can laugh] taught us about trying to have a more "open" face, as in, not screwing it up (it makes a brighter sound - let's your resonating cavities in your face do their job better [woohoo - clever technical sounding bit])
He questioned why people screw up their faces when they're walking down the street in the rain and wind - I mean, really, what's that gonna gain them? And wouldn't we all feel better and the world seem a bit friendlier if we smiled a bit more?
I often challenge myself on this if I'm walking somewhere in the rain - but it's not easy...
Whereas when it's sunny, well, those are the days - I can conquer the world when the sun is shining!
That feeling though, the genuine spring-in-your-step feeling is too good to save for sunny days, I've decided.
And so I want to learn to love the rain.
Also, I'm going to Nepal during the monsoon season this summer...
