My Life in the Sunshine

Indian Summer? Pagan rituals? The possibilities are endless.  However,  it meant more to me in this year of the pandemic. The break in the weather was real and noticeable in Chicago. We went from 60 degrees to 80 degrees TODAY!!! The warmth of the sun melted the aches and pains in my bones. I started off weary, I was energized.  I certainly understand why the "snow birds" seek the sunny destinations when it gets cold outside.  You can tell many folks are getting tired of sheltering in place. People seek each other out to congregate and celebrate. Just this month, we've had hurricanes, wildfires, and political upheavals. We've also had professional sports, television productions,  and drive-in festivals. People are bonding over their taste and style.....in an effort to get through this thing called life.  Personally, I enjoyed Prince's Sign O The Times re-release and celebration. Often, it's the shared moments we treasure most. Why? Because human beings crave connection and a sense of belonging.  Whether it"s a large group or an intimate few, the memories and nostalgia carry us through the tough times. That is the idea behind life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  But must you chase happy? Is it all created for a social media post? Or are you having an experience? Only you can answer this question.  As for me, I enjoy running the race to get to the press towards the mark of the high calling.  Even during COVID-19,  I am committed to living my life without regrets. I invite you on this journey as we discover our best selves and our best life. The purple life.  Share your comments below.  Thanks for stopping by.  Take Care and God Bless!!!
