Be happy.

I took this video while we waited for a train to take us back to Rome. I don't remember where we were, because we had only been in Italy for two weeks and I was still somewhat disoriented. But we had come from a festival of liberation.

I haven't looked at the videos or pictures from Italy for a long time. Tonight I did, and I remember that my life is full of amazing experiences, and all of them have changed me from the outside in and from the inside out. It's hard sometimes to remember the good things from yesterday and not allow how much you miss them to distract you from today's experiences. Being present is incredibly important and I'd like to get better at it. Things happen. You should be there for them, instead of stuck in the past or worried about the future.

Life is too short, and we are all entirely too fragile to be worried all the time. So, let's get happy. Put on your brightest colors, dance in the rain, sing out loud, kick up dust, eat weird, delicious food, hug your lovers, breathe in deep and be happy.
