Lord let the rain fall ....

If there is one thing I believe, it is the belief that regardless of our stage in life we have to face fun head on! And in that belief, I firmly trust that there is fun to be had by playing in the rain! Now I am not talking about the stupid drunk fun that leaves you sick as a dog the next day! I am talking about the carefree fun! The fun that is seen and experienced through the uninhibited freedom of a child. So many times we loose sight of the fun things in life. Whether it is because of fear, because of the busy lives we lead or because we are in the state of mind that we are "too old to do that" fun has slowly taken a back seat in this thing we call life!

Questions to ponder ... When is the last time you have driven down the road, rolled the windows down, blared the music and sang at the top of your lungs? How long has it been since you have played old childhood board games like Trouble, Sorry or Connect Four? When have you woken up early on a fresh spring day and let the dew on the grass tickle your toes? Have you let a ladybug glide across you hand or have you danced with the fireflies in the dark of night? When lately have you allowed that carefree fun take hold of you and carry you to a magical land you once knew so clearly as a child?

It is my hope that the next time you see an opportunity to have fun you don't just brush it off or pass it up but that you seize it! Take hold of it and run! Stick your tongue out and let the rain pour down!
