I have attended mass yesterday. And after the mass, there will be a teaching by Bo Sanchez. So let me share you this interesting story that was discussed there. [i]Julie and Maria Julie is miserable. Peering from her window, she's looking at dark rain clouds. In a gloomy voice, she says "Oh, woe is me, it's raining again. I won't able to walk out on the streets and enjoy the rain! what a terrible day!" When she was a little girl, Julie loved frolicking under the rain, But her mother scolded her saying, "It's raining Come back in the house now or you will catch cold!" Julie had no choice but to say indoors-bored and lonely. And so even now that she's grown up, the rains makes her feel miserable. Beside Julie's home lives her neighbor Maria. Maria looks out of her window and sees the rain. She smiles and her eyes twinkle. When she was a little girl, Maria and her mother frolicked under the rain. She remembers her mother often said, "Don't let the rain steal away your joy. Don't let any problem steal away your happiness! You're too special and beautiful to be miserable!" So now that Maria's grown up, every time it rains, she remembers her mother. Sweet memories flood her heart. Her mother was always cheerful no matter what happened. Yes, even when it rained. Maria wears her old sneakers, opens her umbrella, and walks out into the rain. She hops around the potholes giggling, feeling like a little girl again. "What a lovely day!" maria says as she dances in the rain.[/i] One situation, Two different reaction. How about you, Are you Julie or Maria?
