29.06.2019 The Bold and Beautiful are SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE and the power of YES

Early morning call at the B&B corner, skies clear and sunrise slowly appearing.

Waves a bit churny at the point, currents here and there.

Chilly outside, ….the Drinks Express is ready to roll.

On the way in to the water I got an earworm, an old REM song started in my head.

Shiny Happy People buzzed with me all the way to Shelly.

On my return there are SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE everywhere getting ready for the 7am swim.

THE LYRICS SAY IT ALL

Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd, people, people
Throw your love around, love me, love me
Take it into town, happy, happy
Put it in the ground where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

Everyone around, love them, love them
Put it in your hands, take it, take it
There’s no time to cry, happy, happy
Put it in your heart where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shiny

Feeling good on the way to the coffee I noticed Margie’s number plate and it reminded me of the power of YES.

Yes to ocean swimming

Yes to smiling

Yes to feeling SHINY

Yes to HAPPY PEOPLE.

Yes to a great weekend.

YES to listening to OR watching the song !!!!
