A time for the ages

{To Take a Walk in the Rain--click photo for source}

Last night I watched Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. In it, the main character, Gil (Own Wilson), tries to persuade his fiance to take a stroll in the rain. She’ll have none of it. Why does every city have to be in the rain? What’s wonderful about getting wet? 

Well, for starters, it’s invigorating–romantic, even. And let’s not forget it’s power over stress. If you’re feeling a tad tightly wound, simply find a good puddle and jump right in. You’ll be amazed at how freeing it feels . . . until, perhaps, you look down at that pair of $600 shoes you just ruined. But other than that, it’s completely fabulous.

So yes, a walk in the rain is wonderful, indeed!

It’s been raining here, you know–though just enough to paint the whole city in grey scale. With nary a puddle, no light reflects. It’s dark and dreary and a nap seems the only option. Luckily, naps are good, too. 

But first, things to do . . . 

Before I leave, however, I wish you days worthy of the memories. May you find time to spend with the masters of art, music, and literature; may you make the most of right where you’re at . . . 

Here’s to you, my friends, and a weekend of everyday magic!

  1. I just watched Midnight in Paris today! And you want to know the other freaky thing: this is the FIFTH post tonight I've read about Paris! Ha! I'm starting to take it as a sign that I need to hop on the next plane France ;o)

    I love walking in the rain and you know what's even better? Kissing in the rain…which I've done too! I think every girl should try it at least once 🙂

      And kissing in the rain? I couldn\’t agree more!
