Rain or Shine get outside!

This summer I flew over to Europe to my native land, Lithuania.  I had a wonderful time with my family and friends.   On one occasion we went to the Baltic sea, the resort city of Palanga.  It is a beautiful city that buzzes with tourists all summer long.  Beaches, cafes, concerts and dancing are some of a few attractions visitors from all over the world enjoy.  
In the early morning hours, when the most of the city would still be asleep, I would get up and walk on a beautiful golden sand along the Baltic sea shoreline.  What was amazing that many people would get up and do tai chi, yoga, jog, do their own creative exercises, exfoliate skin using sand and dip in the salty water...  A beautiful sight and inspiration for taking the morning time to energize!  
As the rainy season is approaching Western Oregon, get your sunshine outside as much as possible: walk, clean up your garden, exercise and gaze at the stars.  And as we move into rainy season, keep on getting outdoors; don’t let the rain stop you from having fun in the fresh air and see the beauty of a cloud or a fallen leaf... Maybe you could even dance in the rain :)
