Reach for the sky

Here's a photo of some roses given to Mrs C
as a thank-you present.....

.....and here is one of my sky photos, taken
through the skylight in the bathroom.

I love looking at the sky and cloud
formations - peaceful and uplifting at the
same time.

A few months ago I read an NLP book on how
to have more fun in life. The author reckoned
that looking at the sky, and/or kite flying
was a great way to lift your mood. She'd
observed that depressed people tend to look
downwards towards the floor, and she advised
her depressed clients to look upwards instead.

This mood-elevating effect is something that
Tolstoy wrote about in his novel, "War and
Peace", when one of his characters wakes up
on the battlefield, to see a lovely sky
straight above him. Inspirational.
