Hi Friends,

Another beautiful day in paradise.

I believe we have many opportunities to act and feel young again. At 78 years young I enjoy steping out of the box of conformity, habit and predictability. When I started to mower the lawn this morning there was no hint on rain, but when I started to rake the yard it drizzled then rained a bit harder. It crossed my mind during the drizzle phase to stop, go in, and resume raking after it stopped, then I asked myself, why should stop? I usual answers didnt make sense to. Like, get out of the rain, you'll get soaked and wet, or you might catch a cold, get sick, a fever or a cold. Then a reply popped in my mind. " So what!?" For me raking the lawn is form of meditation, theraphy, relaxation, the rain was only making the experience more enjoyable.

At first I was not aware I was being taped. I just didn't care. But I must confess for an instant my ego was concerned about how I might to others seeing me in this vulnerable unguarded moment, but the answer was the same, I didn't care. I was having fun and feeling good about what I was doing and proud that I didnt stop, quit, or gave up, all which made me feel even better. I stayed focused on my intent to do my best and complete the task at hand.

Live your life in the moment you exist. You can only die then, so, it stand to reason you can only truly live then.

Be happy, Just saying...
