Looking outside, from behind my office desk, I see rain.
I have been seeing quite a lot of rain lately, mainly because it has been raining a lot last couple of weeks. Amazing how the weather changes here.
We just had the driest November month ever and now we had the wettest December ever.
Last year around that time we had snow all over the place, this year it is completely dry or completely wet.

Looking outside, from behind my office desk, I see daylight.
In the morning I go to work in the dark and after a day of work I come home in the dark. I try to enjoy the daylight during the day, while looking outside and during lunch break. Despite the rain, the wind and the cold I do try to go outside to experience daylight. Sometimes I have a short walk with my colleagues, a walk around the industrial area. Not a very beautiful area, though very good to get some fresh air.
Looking outside, from behind my office desk, I see the sky.
When it rains of the wind is to strong or when I just don’t feel like walking I still try to go outside and just stand there. Some of my colleagues play some soccer, some smoke a cigarette, some just stand with me and chat a bit. I notice how clouds come and go, how rainbows appear and disappear. How the rays of sun try to shine through the clouds.
Looking outside, from behind my office desk, I see my life.
The changes in the weather are comparable with life. There are sunny days and rainy days. There are warm days and cold days. There are happy days and miserable days. There are energetics days and lousy days. There are confident days and insecure days. Though overall the days are as they are. The trick is to enjoy all days cause in every day something good happened. No matter how small or tiny, remember the good moment(s) of the day and a smile will rise.
Looking outside, from behind my office desk, I see a positive me.






Nice philosophic thoughts! These are a lot like I learned in the years I practiced Aikido. Accept everyday life as it is, but do not suffer in silence. Discover the positive things in everyday life and enjoy your happiness. All the best!
