“May your joy be as deep as the ocean and your sorrow as light as foam.” ~ Unknown
Just because we have Parkinson’s and we may have a greater risk of developing melanoma from our medications as well as from our disease; it does not mean we should hide under a rock and not enjoy life!
So, as the summer fast approaches, we want to be ready! I know I am. My absolute favorite time of the year is summer, not just because it’s the season of my birthday which I am sure has something to do with it.
I relish the reinvigorating energy I get from witnessing a beautiful sunset on the beach or feeling the sand run through my toes as I walk barefooted feeling the waves wash away my worries and heal my soul. Nothing like feeling the breeze of a cool wave as it splashes on our face as the shore sends a thousand little particles of salty water combined with musky scent of the hot beach, along with sun tan oil mixed with the fruity drink in our hands to titillate and awaken the senses. In an instant we are transported to a time when we were just ourselves, No inquisitions, No struggles, No loser’s only winners.
The sea does not judge it only listens and returns what we thought was lost, our sense of awe, wonder and belief in something bigger than ourselves.
But, in order to fully enjoy without worry of damaging your skin: I recommend these simple tips.
Best Way To Wear Sunscreen: (pictured are 3 of the sunscreens I highly recommend)
tablespoons or 1 ounce to cover body.
Protect your skin if not in the water-
Sit in the shade
Wear sunglasses
Wear a hat -preferably a stylish broad brimmed hat
Wear sun protective clothing ( dark and tightly woven)
Avoid the sun between 10 am and 4 pm the highest peak of UV rays here in the States.
Curl up with a good book or catch up with your best friend or soul mate.
I suggest that this summer you take an away trip to your favorite beach and rediscover the REAL YOU inside!
CARPE DIEM!
Everyone have a terrific Memorial Day Weekend!
