Perceptions

So how are you doing? Have your moods improved a little bit?
It was a beautiful day today! Isn't it funny, isn’t it strange how though they can be so beautiful, the weather, the sky, the fall foliage and our own personal memories,
But something in our perception can sabotage and contaminate that day.

That something can be something that exists every day, however for some reason or another, a personal focus for a certain emotional or perceptual trigger will turn on slew of negative perceptions despite the grandeur that surrounds us.

So, is it the weather, is it our perceptions, is it our failure to manage our perceptions and emotional state that contaminates and sabotages our day, despite no new negative occurrence or event?

I pretty much learned that most of my episodic despondency, frustrations and anger
are generally rooted in my perceptions, my emotional state and not reality.

If it were the reality, then other people would also have similar perceptions and emotional states, like being in an earthquake or Forest fire. This goes for the opposite situation, where I'm feeling great or I think things are great, but that is only perception or emotional state and not truly reality. So how do we discriminate?
Wisdom!
