This morning I was surprised by the foggy weather. I didn't expect it to be this cold. I usually don't notice how cold it is until I step outside, but today was different.

As I got dressed for my daily stroll to work, I decided to wear an extra sweater and an extra pair of socks.

Before leaving the house, I wondered if the weather would affect my mood and make me depressed.

But instead of feeling down, once I started walking I decided I wanted to feel optimistic on this gray day.

There was still quite a bit of light in the sky, so while walking over a bridge that passes over train tracks, I could see some tall buildings half-hidden behind the fog.

We can choose to keep our spirits high despite the weather or obstacles we encounter.

I hope everyone has a good day!
