If any of you readers who are non-Arizonans are wondering...yes, there are cloudy days here, but they take place at this time of year or during the monsoon.
I just took this picture this morning (click on the thumbnail) and sure enough, I did not wake up to sunshine, which sucks. It was kinda cloudy yesterday in the Valley when I went on my grocery shopping errand, and I felt it then too. One reason why I moved here was because Arizona enjoys over 300 days of sunshine each year, and the reverse was true back east.
So, sunshine does make you feel happy!

............that was yesterday and TODAY I hve 4 inches of snow and it’s
still falling!

Macker I do believe you fell into some kind of ‘Pleasure Trap’.  The quest for 300 days of sunshine.  Lets us consider and example, a person comes hoem from a difficult day at the office full of unpleasant feelings.  The cause lies in our inner world which has been shaped by our past experience, the decisions we made and the actions we engaged in over many years in the past, all of which have left traces in our present mentality.  The provocation ocurred at the sight of no sunshine, I do believe.

Well anyways, I’ll just go back to looking out my window and at all that snow and only wish I could have 300 days of sunshine and warm weather.  Yes for I too am stuck in a ‘Pleasure Trap’.
