It’s a sin around here to not thoroughly enjoy every

moment of every golden day. It’s embarrassing to answer,

“Did you get out and enjoy the sunshine this weekend?”

with “No, I stayed inside.”

Co-workers frown and exchange suspicious looks;

apparently I’m one of those rain-loving slugs. I tried

lying, but my pale plexion gave me away. Another mark in

rain’s favor is that my body doesn’t betray me when it’s

cold and damp outside. Throughout the winter, people wear

several layers, with perhaps several extra pounds here and

there. In June I dig out my shorts to discover my thighs

resemble cottage cheese. I dread buying a swimsuit, as

consecutive horror and humiliation make me cringe in the

dressing room. Even my tastebuds prefer the rain. When it

storms outside, it’s time for steamy hot chocolate or even

a soothing toddy.

People devour hot, hearty meals, with lots of potatoes

and savory sauces. This type of eating evaporates when the

sun es out; suddenly everyone offers salads and ice water

and expects it to be satisfying. It’s time to publicly

acknowledge that I love the rain. How it transforms my

house into a cozy cave where I can spend the afternoon cooking and dreaming. It seems nobody else will admit to a

love affair with the rain, nobody else will groan when

it’s hot outside and join me in a rain dance.

When the sun es out I do greet it with a smile,

slipping sunglasses to my purse and pulling a tank top out

of my closet. Yet my fortable sweaters and warm slippers

beckon, making me wish for another wet, chilly afternoon.

When the rain returns, I will grin even more. Am I the only

one?

The Elements of Suess I don't believe that there is any

one recipe for suess. Instead, I believe suess is the

result of a bination of a lot of different factors and not

all of them are needed for suess. The more factors you have

on your side, the more likely you are to sueed, and

positive attitude is just one of those factors. Here are

seven additional factors that are also important. Knowledge.

A strong body of knowledge about the area in which you

wish to sueed is often one of the key building blocks of

suess. You can build this by pushing yourself, read and try

out the foundational materials and push yourself into

challenging areas to build your knowledge.

Get a life, a real life, not a manic pursuit of the

promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you

love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail.

Write a letter. Get a life in which you are generous.

Realize that life is the best thing ever, and that you

have no business taking it for granted.

It is so easy to waste our lives, our days,our minutes.

It is so easy to take for granted the color of our kids’

eyes, the way the melody in a symphony rises and falls and

disappears and rises again…

It is so easy to exist instead of living.I learned to

live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened

to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I

had my option, it would never have been changed at all. And

what I learned from it is what, today, sees to be the

hardest lesson of all.

I learned to love the journey, not the destination.I

learned that it is not a dress rehearsal, and that today is

the only guarantee you get.

I learned to look at all the good in the world and try

to get some of it back because I believe in it, pletely and

utterly. And I tried to do that, in part by telling others

what I had learned, by telling them this: consider the

lilies of the field, look at the fuzz on a baby’s ear,

read in the backyard with the sun on your face, learn to be

happy, and think of life as a terminal illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought

to be lived.
