What changed?
The same sun rose today as yesterday, over the same field, and shone through the same library window where I sit in the morning.
Yesterday was I despondent, today am I anticipating great things. What changed?
Under yesterday’s dark outlook, problems appeared everywhere. All around me were tigers.
Today, everywhere there are solutions and gifts. All around me are treasures.

I control the weather with moods, yet can I control my mood?
Lord, rule my inner world, touch my heart and transform my outer world.
– from the mountain
Consider:
Can I learn to live apart from my mood?

“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little. And if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick. And if we got sick, at least we didn’t die. So, let us all be thankful.” — Buddha
