Should circumstances affect our mood?



In the space of a week, my state of affairs has turned around. Let that be a lesson: the moment will pass.
Now, I'm content.

The paperback copies of my first book, Still Rock Water have arrived and they look wonderful.
A member of staff at the Hertfordshire library is considering three books for their stocks: the former novel along with Wind Over Troubled Waters and the second in the series I wrote with Edith Parzefall , Knights in Dark Leather.
And finally, a friend put together a video for the song my character Liliha wrote in the novel, Still Rock Water. My deepest thanks to  
Rosalie Skinner, author of The Chronicals of Caleath.
You can see the video of Comic Book Story, the song here on YouTube.  Wonderful.

The question is: should circumstances affect our mood?

  4. I am so very happy for you!! What wonderful news!!

    I try to not let circumstances or events affect me negatively as much as possible, or not for long, if I can help it. I've been through so many things in my life--it's all perspective, to me. I ask myself, is this really life or death important? But I am more than happy to grab onto any positives with both hands and let if affect the everlovin' heck out of me--LOL! ;)

  5. Coming from a decidedly Christian perspective the answer is no. We should not let circumstance effect our mood, our faith, our morals. Circumstance is always short lived in the realm of life. And we are to keep our eyes upon Him and not our circumstance. Likewise, our mood shouldn't rule our beliefs or our actions. We should be steady and always full of hope. But, in truth, we are fallable humans and we all at some point let our mood run our life or our circumstance effect our mood, sometimes with disasterous results.
