Singing in the Rain

Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun. Randy Pausch

Simple things make life worth living. Confucius The recent rain forced many indoors. However us pluviophiles found joy splashing about.

The secret of happiness, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less. Socrates.
There is perverse pleasure gallivanting in the rain when others cower under their umbrellas. Now science confirms the benefits of doing so.

• Rain cleanses the air of pollutants and allergens

• The smell of rain calms and soothes

• Lightning releases ozone leaving you refreshed

• Exercising in the rain lowers body temperature so you can exercise faster and longer

• You are free to be alone with your thoughts.

• Rain reminds us to let go of control and just deal with it.

This week kick off your shoes, throw caution to the wind, and lift your face to the sky. You will be glad you did.

A new year, a new dawn, a new opportunity to wipe the slate clean, to start afresh leaving the past behind.

Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over. Anon except what you see in the mirror. Yes, When you first start out with something new, you're always a little uptight. Don Rickles So I invite you to begin to slow down inwardly, to take a walk in nature or linger over your coffee. To heed the advice of poets to detox and declutter our brains by daydreaming and listening to call letters from the…  universe. Juan Felipe Herrera To push aside the static to really hear the music. Steve Wynn

For What you think you become, what you feel you attract, what you imagine, you can create. Buddha  As Kenneth Kole said we define who we are each day with what we choose to wear.  Be selective, be intentional and remember, An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful. Dalai Lama
