Cold weather is annoying and so is hot weather. I can be annoying too.
I can go outside and enjoy the sunshine and watch the beautiful nature around me, but not today.
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and I should change this mood. I don't know how to do it. I can take a shower or do some skincare, but it's a little difficult to get up. I can just read a book or listen to music, but no. I don't feel like doing anything. I can't say it's my hormones. It's just me thinking about the things that I should let God take care of.
Why can't I sleep more? I don't exercise, get sunshine, see my friends or do interesting stuff. I guess I've gotten cabin fever. I should remind myself *Rumi's poem "The Guesthouse" and think this is a guide from beyond. Yeah, it sounds nice in writing, but I can't wrap my head around it in real time.
* The Guesthouse
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

I answer @Zobayda with a quote from the poet Rumi: ‘There is hope after despair and many suns after darkness’.
Thanks! 👌
Hi, @Zobayda! I recommend you to start writing down your thoughts or feelings on a morning note. It's the idea from the book, "The Artist's Way". You can find out how to do on YouTube. I just started it a couple of days ago and am feeling it's very effective!
It was my morning page. I started my day at 1 pm today. 😅 I've read the book, but I always forget to write morning pages in a notebook. It's more effective. Thanks so much for the reminder! @yumiyumayume ! BTW, when I type your name this emoji (😋 )appears.
Good morning @Zobayda! Haha, my name sometimes mispronounce yummy by people from overseas. I always explain how to pronounce my name when I first introduce myself. You Me, lol. That's amazing! You start writing your morning note in English!!!! I'd love to give it a try after I get used to it too!!!!
