Emotional Barometer

“Our culture places such a high value on being relentlessly cheerful, optimistic and Facebook-friendable that it’s just sort of embarrassing not to be that person. God knows, I’d love to wake up every day in a cupcakes-and-kittens state of mind, but there are mornings when I’ll settle for an emotional weather report that is partly sunny with only a 30 percent chance of rain.”
—Nikki Hardin, publisher of Skirt!

Isn’t that the truth? Whatever your state of mind is this morning, make your day count.
