It’s a quarter to midnight on the eve of June 1st… Memorial Day weekend 2010 is almost history, and yet, we have had NO SUNSHINE! I don’t know about you all, but I’m ITCHING for some sunny and warm days. I’ve packed away all of my boots, North Faces, sweaters, and scarves and am committed to only wearing sandals now through the end of September.

Please, Mother Nature, send along the sun and warm weather to Washington State! We don’t complain very often about the rain, but we need to make sure that the glowing yellow ball is still out there some where!

Whenever I get down, or need a little inspiration to get through my day, I definitely turn on a little John Mayer. One of my all time favorite John Mayer tracks is “Heart of Life” off of his Continuum album. I have to admit that I believe that the Continuum album is genius and so great for a quiet night of reflection, inspiration, and relaxing. I encourage you all to log into iTunes and check out the album. You won’t be disappointed!

“Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who’s misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it’s good“

PLAY DESCRIPTION

The day Paula and Cathy move into a big, old house in Paula’s hometown in Mississippi, it snows. In the spring, the kudzu leaves Paula’s new garden alone, but the English ivy runs rampant. And the huge old oak which blocks all the sunshine drives Cathy nuts – until an old high school sweetheart of Paula’s secretly helps them cut down the tree. But when a strange old woman comes to visit, Paula and Cathy find out the hard way that sometimes, nature wins.
