I took my second walk in the Park yesterday of the season and overnight, Spring has arrived. The flowering cherry blossom trees line the bridal path in a candy land of pink sprinkles that makes it hard to believe Mother Nature creates such beauty. Everyone has come out of hibernation in the blink of an eye and put on their shortest shorts no matter the thigh size. Walking along, IPOD in hand, I notice everyone around me running or walking to the soundtracks of their life. I wonder what they are all listening to. Sometimes I think life would be so joyous if we all broke out into song or dance throughout the day...a musical of life. People groove past me and I quicken my stride to the sound of Beyonce. I notice three women power walking, or attempting to, who are laughing about something that "Susie" did at work. Ahead of me, a little girl is learning how to ride a two-wheeler while her father assuredly holds the back of the bike. I look right and a couple is taking baby in carriage for an evening stroll. I am a hopeless romantic but this is just ridiculous I think to myself. I feel like I am in a movie - cue the birds to come sing on my shoulder and tie my hair in a ribbon. Its amazing what fresh air, sunshine and a warm breeze can create. I just cooked dinner while shaking my hips to "Its Raining Men". Who cares what the neighbors might say?
Listen to the soundtrack in your head and let the sun shine in...
