Pocket full of sunshine

I watched the movie Easy A last night, I love that movie so much.  It has a part with that Pocket Full of Sunshine song and it has been stuck in my head since then.  But what a great idea a pocket full of sunshine - no one can take away your pocket full of sunshine.  This just takes me right to the Covey idea of us being greater than our moods - one of my favourite concepts of all time - even if it is one I have a lot of work to live up to.

This is part of the quote I found online (although it is a little different than the one I was thinking of but this one is perhaps even more important for me right now).

By making and keeping promises to ourselves and others, little by little, our honor becomes greater than our moods.  --Covey

Pair that with the idea of carrying a pocket full of sunshine around and that can lighten up any mood that might have me considering letting my mood rule my behaviour!

Glad I came on here tonight to write about this as it really just helped me to clarify something.

On the topic of fitness of the physical sort (not the mental sort that was the topic of the first part of this).  I did the week 4 run pattern today - glad I have worked myself back to that stage.  I know that next week I will be able to do the week 5 again - so back to where I was before the Christmas break and the cold/flu.  So that just adds an extra ray of sunshine to carry around in my pocket for the next time I need one!
