The Positivity on Cold Winter Days

A while back I painted this watercolour. As I am looking at it today, I felt it could have been painted during this cold spell this January. Even though, I used fall like colours. Is it that easy to change perception? A beautiful fall day or a bitter cold January day - just the colour dots will make me feel differently about this moment. 

What is positivity, I ask? Is it an external action? How big or how small does it have to be? Or is it the feeling I am taking away with me? The other day, I was sitting down with Mary http://Marypurdyevolutionary.blogspot.ca/  to ask her, what positivity is? I was to journal according to my therapist about positive moments during my day. I could not think of any, till I started to explore the question, what is positivity? Wow, positive moments are small moments that make me feel good inside. To feel positive moments, I need to slow down to feel them, to make them big, to let this moment grow. It seems like it is like learning how to draw, the eye has to be trained to see. The observer has to be trained to see the positive moments and cherish them. Take time to smell the roses!
