Soul Food.................

Disclaimer...IF you are a dermatologist stop now! There is just nothing in this world better for my soul than a lazy day in the pool.....throw in a group of wonderful women, great food and cold libations and you have fed your inner most being with golden rays of light. Whether you're in the water on a float, sunning on the deck or sitting in the shade, you're shedding those layers of worry and fretting and easing summer into your very being. This past Saturday I was able to spend delicious time with some very fine friends, some old, some new. What a delight. Conversations bounced around much like kernels of corn in a popper. Colorful suits, faces in the shadows of straw hats, freshly pedicured toes, and huge sunglasses were the order of the day. Conversations,laughter, and advice flowed like lazy rivers. The hint of coconut from sunscreen added an air of festivity to the group. We were relaxed. We were bobbles of pure delight. Did we possibly add a sunspot or two? Yep! Was it worth it...to me, it couldn't have been better. And now to my point...you KNOW I try to have one with every blog. We all need something in our days to feed our souls. We need soothers, and polishers and waxers and warmth. We need stretchers and benders and easers of tension. So no matter what is your passion, live it, if even for an hour or a day. Throw your arms out and embrace life. The present is a gift. Look forward to the days to come, but not at the expense of the day you're living right now. Be kind to yourself and your soul. The world will be glad to give you a beating, it's up to you, to throw it right back out and say...'You know what? I'm gonna turn my craggy rock of a world into a polished stone. And I'm starting today!" Happy Monday Guys and Dolls.
