Here in England we have a habit of describing the weather using negative words, especially if it is anything but sunny. Can we learn a lesson from looking at the weather in a more positive way?

Making music everyday is like putting pennies in the piggie bank. If you look after the pennies then the pounds will look after themselves. The music you create may not seem like it is making any direct change to your income of financial situation but over time it will become much like a well tended to savings account!

Why do we even bother to do those things that we know are god for us; exercise, meditation, positive relationships, service etc. As Matt Haig said, because they are "weapons for the war that subsides but can always ignite again"

I am very often speaking negatively of social media and it's potential effects on my own mental health and overall contentment. I recently encountered a way to actually get a genuine feeling of community and connection out of it. I'm always telling my kids that "sharing is caring" - I really should listen to that advice.

The book 'The Big Leap' [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Big-Leap-Conquer-Hidden-Level-ebook/dp/B0026772QU/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1625823014&sr=8-1] by Gay Hendricks exposed me to something that I had never heard of but had encountered too many times to count. Upper limiting.
