Perception can be wrestled in the realm of psychology. It's all about the associations. Operant conditioning, a thing is as you think it is and have been conditioned to respond to it.
I have had a rather tumultuous week but I've taken it more in stride than I could have ten years ago. I have had my share of various upheavals in routine to take a lot in stride.

As far as rain is concerned, I love the stuff until it becomes bloody inconventient for me.
