Ironic! Rain

(photo by ames_'s flickr) It's been raining for ages now. Non stop! I do not want to kill my hopes and optimisim but I must say that until now, Summer 2011 is full of deception, in all senses for me. Today, I found this website 'The sound of rain' for 'peace'. Last week, I could have partially agreed, 3 years ago yes sure! I would have agreed but now, all I want is to show my stomach to the sun!

WOW - I really don't know how to make this blog look nice

Whatever I try, turns into something ugly. Maybe I should work harder on it. Sorry for the time being...

HOW TO - my first How-to?

I was reading a blog called "The Happiness Project" and I came across this post called:How to Keep Reality TV from Ruining Your Life

I realized I have never written a HOW-TO. Is is because I do not know "How to?"? Yes I do. So this is the day! Lately, I have been focusing on so many things I want to change in myself and my life that with this post, I realized that I could acknowledge more my abilities and knowledge and somehow grey hairs I have at a very young age. (Yes I am, young). So here is my semi-ironic "How to". I am thinking of making those a serie, just for my personal enjoyment.

I met a person I would very much like to write about in one of the next posts because I have to digest our meeting. The topic comes from the "post drive thru Burger King ride" from yesterday.

How to have a moment of delight?

1 - Find yourself a drink that gives you "peace" but do not let yourself get dehydrated - so drink water as well.

I drink tea, I believe tea helps. I am almost sure it will work for you too but I don't want to put pressure on you.

2 - Find yourself an activity that will make you breathe

I love Yoga and sitting. I love sitting and thinking and looking... You may think of something else of course but I am pretty sure yoga will work for you. Ask Tara Stiles. She is my hero(ine).

3 - Make time for yourself and your drink and your activity (or inactivity).

That means, tell someone that you need to synchronize with the world. (We will cover this topic in depth a little later, maybe in another How-to)

4 - Do not let your skin get dry, your back pain take over your posture and your addictions dominating your time management.

Those things are physical, about your body you live in and delight is a physical experience as well as a mental and emotional one. It is the ultimate climax of peace in perfect rhythm. You have to keep up with it, it has to keep up with you.

So here was my first How-to list. I usually do not ask for comments because I don't really know who is reading this blog -and if anybody is reading- but this time, I would like to know that you think.

So, what do you think?
