On his blog he wrote a post called “Am I better than yesterday?” It gave me much of a thought back then as it is both a simple task and one you can measure…

While writing the last entry “Face the Sun” I thought that some people would say “the sun’s not shining! Now what?”

Well the truth, even if you don’t want to acknowledge it, is the sun’s shining and the sky is blue. We are not aware of that when it’s raining or even cloudy, how could we? It’s cold and windy and wet dammit! Well my dear…
