Here comes the sun....

After a hectic week this weekend definitely served to help me get somewhat relaxed once again and to really focus on the way I am feeling, and just get back into contact with myself.

Today I went to an acapella concert at school and I heard a group from Armenia who was really good. Although they sang in a different language, they gave brief introductions to the songs in order to create the setting and help the listener connect. They said they sing about calmer times, when time was measured by the sun in the sky, or when ones biggest rich was to have a field full of crops. I loved hearing them sing and I especially liked the meaning behind their songs.

I think sometimes we get so caught up in what we have to do that we forget to enjoy the little things, or we sometimes begin to value things that don’t have much worth. Being able to relax and just go through my day slowly definitely helped me notice everything around me and just become much calmer on the inside. I think we all need that find of down time.

Another amazing that that is happening is the CHANGE IN WEATHER! Finally, our grey, cold and windy days have some sunshine which just makes everything brighter and more appealing. People are starting to leave their house, go out for a run, play basketball, etc, which is great because we rarely think about how the weather affects our mood. I’m excited for my favorite time of the year to come where I can soak up the sun and truly enjoy things in a carefree and relaxed manner.
