Wonderful Rainy Days

Oh wonderful beautiful rainy days, horror movies, popcorn, iced tea and a cat curled on my lap. Could you imagine anything more comforting? Now that is what I call living. Living isn't necessarily going out and surfing, skydiving, or riding a roller coaster, sometimes it's just those moments where you can sit back and smile and feel the comfort of your life.

It has taken me a while to realize that standing in my kitchen cooking a simple meal, watching my favorite TV show or just petting my dogs is living. Living is what you enjoy, things that make you feel good, things that bring you comfort. No one can help you live except yourself. You cannot depend on others for your happiness you have to create your own. If happy is standing in a kitchen cutting up vegetables for dinner then you are living life and happy, if stroking you cat while she's on your lap brings a smile and calmness to you then that is living.

People have the mistaken idea that living means doing things that you normally wouldn't do like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. If this makes you happy then you are living life, but if just sitting and watching your favorite movies makes you happy then that is also living life. Everyone should live their lives. Doing things day in and day out that make you unhappy will make you miserable and can cause negative health conditions. Living loving and laughing is good for your mental health and physical health.

Please live, love and laugh everyday.
