| Having fun down the Cape... |
 |
| 2 second later, getting soaked |
I got home from the Cape last night after a dreary yet fun, ladies weekend (pics above from a different, sunny weekend), to the arrival of my SELF magazine. SELF is definitely one of my favorites because it focuses on the whole being, not just the physical like some other similar magazines. One thing they always do towards the beginning is to put a 2-page picture of nature or some outside activity accompanied with some inspiring words. For me, yes, I am aware of trying to be balanced in life and have fun. However, it always means more when I see it written down (hello? this blog), so I love the section of SELF. This months June issue - with Maria Menounos on the cover - says the following:
Happy Days
Remember how free you felt in the summer as a kid - joyfully unself-conscious and liberated from adult rules? Recapture that special sense of wonder and savor this season: Every day the sun shines get out and do something that exhilarates you. Dive into water that's a little too chilly, round up pals for a spontaneous road trip, laze in a hammock and read an old fashioned thriller, just for fun. Be a kid again!

I love this sentiment because it drives us to really capture those special moments, to do something that makes us happy. Whether surfing or relaxing with a nice, cold [adult] beverage, (which, sounds amazing to me right now, especially as I look out my window and see pouring rain) it's about YOU doing something for YOU... and isn't that what it's all about? I am definitely looking forward to some sun, it's certainly been limited here in the Northeast. Can I promise that every day it's sunny I will be running towards Boston Harbor to dive in? Probably not. But, my goal will be to do some thing that is out of my routine to make the day feel worthwhile and not one of the same.
Love, Lizzie
