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.
