To be honest, my girls are not moody. In fact, our home climate is remarkably clear and sunny. That's precisely why it is so easy to watch a mood coming over horizon.

Think about it. If you're in middle of a storm, you can't even see horizon, let alone remember to look that direction in order to be aware of what's heading your way. You need clear skies for that--or at least a very high cloud cover.

Mood-watching is a fascinating mindfulness exercise, and you've got plenty of high and low pressure areas of your own to keep you busy. The trick is learning how to read ol' mood barometer.

Some people can be completely at ease with one lover and insanely jealous with another lover. People have potential to get jealous for a multitude of reasons.
