Having had a father (R.I.P. dad) who had the SAD, seasonal attitude depression, I believe it's called, we cringed because he would often get so angry at anything and everything when the weather was grey and seemingly at it's worst. Everyone always breathed a sigh of relief when just a tiny ray of sun would show through the clouds. My youngest sister would always tell him, "Daddy, the sun is just on the other side. Please, don't be sad." She told this to him often because she was the only one who could get through to him. It took words from his baby to calm him down. She was one his favorite and that was ok by us. She did what it took. She still tells her family, The sun is just on the other side.
I was so engrossed yesterday, I didn't realize it rained. We are fortunate, every room has at least 2 windows or a double window. Rain or not, as long as I have natural light, I'm good.
