Moody Weather

I was having this discussion with my brother last week about the weather and how it affects your mood. (Or maybe if your mood affects the weather.) I'm just kind of curious if anyone else feels the same as I do or is affected by weather like I am.

I never used to think that weather could have such an impact on me, so much to the point that it could really determine how I felt about a certain day. It wasn't until recently that I began to realize this. I've noticed that overcast days and rainy days tend to make me...not exactly depressed, but just not as motivated and as cheerful. I mean, I could have just this great day where everything went really well, but if it happened to rain that day or just be overcast and such, and I'm looking back on it, I just have a weird feeling about the day. But if it were to have been sunny and such, the day is still fresh and great in my mind.

I just love sunny days when the sun is shining brightly and the colors of the flowers and leaves are bright and beaming. Those are the days that make me the happiest.

After I told Ian about this, he said that sometimes he felt that his mood affected the weather. In talking to Jay last night, he commented that it's done nothing but rain ever since I left State Center. Well dur, that's because everyone's so sad that I left!
