Let it rain

My youngest is certifiable.  But then, so am i.  And, well nobody's perfect, just ask my homie (whom i've never met), Adele.  See, told ya - that apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

"Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain."

Despite yesterday being Monday it had me at 73 degrees.  A welcome change from the usual brrrrrrr....all day - i loved saying, "Man, it's hot!"  Today, not so much.  Instead, rainy, grey and pleh.  Still my youngest found reason to laugh, play and dance.  Gotta love young people.  So free and uninhibited. 

The sound of his laughter stopped me in my tracks, the sight prompted me to get my camera, and the final result snapped me out of my mood.  

Thanks, Noamaste.   

At first he had his umbrella - (it's all about the gear)
 
 back and forth he ran
 through the same puddle.

With the space and time
to run,
jump
and play.  
Mud+mess= a happy, contented,
little boy.
  "Life isn't about how to survive the storm, 
 but how to dance in the rain."


Until next time,

Take the power

 
“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.”
