Happiness is little fluffy clouds in the sky

What a nice day to be alive. I'm currently journeying down the M6 with my partner on our way to pick up her daughter and this thought has just struck me out of the blue... literally. At the moment I have a number of seemingly insurmountable problems to deal with in my personal life regarding work and money. But do you know what? Today I could care less about such trivial things.

A person's mood can change in the blink of an eye and this is exactly what has just happened to me. I've had a good weekend, so it's not surprising really that I should suddenly have a moment of feeling all warm and fuzzy, but it has come as a bit of a surprise considering other things that are happening in my life right now. Why am I suddenly so happy?

A highly enjoyable weekend could be partially responsible for lifting my spirits. An old friend came over to stay on Friday and we had a few beers and a lovely Indian takeaway. Last night we went to see a band that I have liked for many years and first saw about 20 years ago. They're on their farewell tour so it was quite a special occasion to go and see them. So all in all, good times and pleasant company.

Little fluffy clouds in the sky I've been worried about money for a few months now and recent events have exacerbated the problem and have made it necessary for me to re-evaluate my business. I'm optimistic that things will improve in the future, but at this moment in time things are quite dire. I've never fallen so low without a safety net. This temporary respite from worry is most welcome and I can only put it down to one thing: the view before me.

The sun is shining, the sky is blue and there's literally hundreds of those little fluffy cumulus clouds up there drifting along in a fresh breeze. The fields we are speeding past are a lush fertile green that almost make you want to eat them up. That's it, a diet of green fields, warm sunshine and fluffy clouds. The smell of newly cut grass reminds my of pleasant summer days from my childhood. This is just the tonic!

I also have a few episodes of my favourite TV show Neighbours to look forward to tonight in a weekly catchup. Now stop snickering in the corner there, we all have our vices you know and that just happens to be one of mine.

I have no doubt that there are going to be some difficult weeks and months ahead of me. I will probably work extremely hard as I have done in the past month and may well see little if anything at all for my efforts. I really can't see what's just around the corner at all, but today it really doesn't matter. Today, right now, right here... I'm happy. All is well in moth's world and I wouldn't swap this feeling for all the money in the world!

I could perhaps be persuaded to rent it out for... I don’t know... say a couple of hundred quid a day? My advice to those who are feeling under pressure and maybe a bit down is to take a look up at the sky and all around you. Let the natural things dust your troubles away.
