Rain on a Parade

I'm having a parade of sorts, my own personal parade celebrating life and adventure and it is sorta fun.  Actually, I lied, it is ALOT of fun.  Life is so short and there is so much opportunity to make yourself and others merry, why bother with any alternative.  I saw a quote on Facebook that sums up this philosophy, "You live for a little bit and then die forever. Make sure you do a lot of stuff" (Shae Perkins).  That is near perfection right there, the only thing I would add is to make sure you do a lot of FUN stuff.

Sometimes there is some rain on my parade but I'm not going to let that bring me down.  The rain can be literal, as in the case of the nasty sludgy sleet/rain/snow mix that is falling today all over my new city, or it can be figural, and someone can dump their nastiness down on you.  Either way, you gotta keep on marching...
