Weather

Yesterday I got up (late as usual) and I noticed that the sky outside was gray and I thought, "Wow! That is exactly how I feel. Nice of the weather to match how I feel inside." I got ready for my day, headed out to have my eye exam. I was dressed and ready to go to the temple for when I was finished. As I was getting in my car, out of my car, back in my car, and back out of my car it was down pouring every step of the way. I noticed as I reached the temple that the sky to the west was blue. I knew that meant the weather was going to get better. The funny thing was I was feeling like the mood the sky was giving off, a little gray and rainy, but things were starting to get blue and sunshiny. I got in the temple and started changing and I just felt a stillness I haven't felt in a while. It was oddly quiet in there, even for the temple. I had just missed the 1:30 session, but it was ok. I sat in the chapel and thought about my talk. I noticed the change in the sky outside as well as the change in my feelings inside. It was getting better. By the time I left the temple there was no sign in the weather that it had rained. I felt better than I have in a few days, and so I have made a goal that from now until October 6th I will go to the temple at least once a week so I can feel sunshiny everyday. The other thing I have decided is I need to stop focusing on what I wish to be doing and what I will be doing when I get home. I need to focus on what I am doing. That is the only important thing in my life right now.
