Sometimes we become consumed with the everyday troubles (these, of course, do not include situations such as extreme illness, the passing of loved ones, etc.) which sometimes are blown way out of proportion. It is natural, and all together human, to become stressed out when life doesn't proceed as planned. All too often, however, we let these troubles weigh too heavily on our shoulders. We lose focus on the balance of life and forget about all the great experiences life has to offer.Rather, we should try to appreciate all that is going well in life, such as a child's laughter or an elderly couple holding hands. It is these types of moments that make the everyday issues trivial, allowing us to devote less energy to stress and worry, and more to life's little treasures. Sometimes, you just have to dance in the rain...

Wow! I've been waiting for an update. Such a good one too. The video totally made my heart smile the way it does when I see people the small things you were talking about. Thanks, Big A!
PS I love Dancing in the Rain!!!
dang....bad grammar. I meant...the way it does when I see people doing the small things you were talking about..
Thanks Genessee. I figure, as a photographer, you probably go out of your way to find those subtle things that people do: the quick, loving glances of a couple, or the admiration a parent shows a child when they've accomplished something... it makes the heart warm...
awwwwwww, let's all dance in the rain!!!
Wait, where are my rain booties.... and my new raincoat (I actually have one although it's useless in SoCal)... ok, now I'm ready.... and while were at it... can we eat ice-cream too? (preferably not under the rain... but hey, if that's the only way... ) Thanks Mr. P!
