rain, rain.

last night i gave a seminar on..wait for it...menopause. i know, i had the same reaction when they asked me to give it.  i first asked them how old they think i am, and then i reassured them that i have never actually experienced menopause.  after we all were on the same page, i ended up researching it and teaching it anyways.  i learned a lot to be honest.  i learned that woman have absolutely nothing to look foward to. i learned that woman are incredibley nervous to talk about menopause openly, and i also learned that-like everything else in this life-everything stems back to good diet and exercise. so it did motivate me to stay healthy throughout all my years.

this rain makes me tired.  but i like it to be honest.  there's nothing better to me then me and brad being cozied in our apartment, feeling trapped because of the rain.  forced to watch movies.  forced to listen to good, mellow music for hours.  forced to take long naps. i like it.

i came across this picture that seemed to brighten up the day.  those young woman are such a light to me.  and i felt it while i was looking at this picture.

i've been listening to music all morning to match this gray, rainy weather. thought i'd share some of my favorite "rain" songs with you while you feel cooped up in your home. you can resort to good music while reading a good book and eating good, warm home-cooked food when the weather is grum.

Melissa I love blog stalking you. I love the music for rainy days. I don't know how I remembered this but do you remember driving from Girls camp and blasting Moby? I think we listened to that song like 300 hundred times. You look amazing as always!

I am laughing so hard right now, I couldn't even read the rest of your post, I was stuck on the word menopause. I'm sure you did great though, you are great at everything you teach.
I love that pic with the girls, it makes me actually miss them, weird huh?
