It is a beautiful day today, the sun is shining and there are light, fluffy clouds overhead. It is inviting us to get outside and enjoy the day. This weather definitely makes it easier to have a positive outlook and teases us with the prospect of better days ahead.

Positive feelings for me can come from something as simple as an unexpected smile or kind word. They can come from a sunny day or even a ray of sunlight sneaking through the clouds and rain. Recently my outlook improved when I received a message from a friend I hadn’t heard from in a while, it really doesn’t take much.

Having said all of that, a sunny day doesn’t change the basics. My husband still needs to take his meds and we need to adhere to our meal and rest schedules. If anything, I may need to be more vigilant as he reacts to the better day and pushes beyond his limits to enjoy it. On the other hand, I don’t want to be the PD police and will try to encourage his fun while we both share a good and a positive day.
