Monday Moods: Get Out There


 Get up, Get Out There, and Explore the world around you. 

There are joys and wonders in every corner of this vast world. 

In your neighborhood, or half way around the world, 

See, Hear, Smell, Feel, and Taste the wonders around you. 

This week, try something different, 

Listen to the silence - the birds - the rhythm of the traffic - the sound of a train in the distance. These are the music of the world around us. 

Sing out loud, in a choir, or to the tune in your head, so that others know there are human sounds to be heard. 

Brighten the day of others by your radiance and kindness. 

Bring light into the world by your presence, your words, your action. 

To answer the questions about the weather here:

  4. I was hoping we'd get more snow this weekend because I love the way everything is so still and quiet; sadly what we got is already gone!

  5. I will get out to the grocery store today. Not too exciting but necessary. Oh, and I will also do laundry. I definitely need more fun in my life! ;)

  7. Get Out There? Not when there's a frigging ice storm David! Best to stay indoors wearing warm clothes, playing with your puppy, your kitten... or maybe your hamster.

  8. Though our weather is nothing like yours, I only got "out there" to my mailbox. But I did spend much of the day "playing in the kitchen". Fun.
