If it´s cold and cloudy outside, And you want to be a great fella, Make all your troubles go glide Opening a smile as your umbrella.

About This Quote

The above quote is a short poem that expresses how we can be happy even in the worst of circumstances. The author uses the metaphor of an umbrella to illustrate how we can protect ourselves from the rain and sun while still having fun and feeling good. Take a look at the image below. The umbrella is not only used to keep the rain and sun off of us, but it also creates a barrier between ourselves and others.

We can feel safe and protected under the umbrella, but we also create an invisible wall between ourselves and everyone else. It’s our choice on whether or not we want to use an umbrella to protect ourselves from adversity or use it as a barrier that keeps others out of our personal space.
