Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very happy holiday, as we celebrate Thanksgiving Day with family and friends this week.  In New York City and Philly, the first half of this holiday week is a little wet. High pressure will build in by Thursday, so Thanksgiving Day looks mostly sunny and dry for all of your outdoor plans. It will be cooler Thursday, with regional highs topping out between 48 and 52 degrees in the NYC and Philly metro areas. 

I hope your holiday week is filled with joyful activities.  Feel free to leave a comment below this post sharing your Thanksgiving Day plans. My volunteer and modeling activities for this holiday week will be posted on Twitter. By the way, I sometimes share fun postings from my Google Plus friends on my Google Plus postings page at: LRod Google Plus Postings. 

To all of my wonderful, supportive New York City area friends, please visit my Examiner blog for NYC weather-related postings at http://www.examiner.com/ny-in-new-york/lisa-rodriguez.

Happy Thanksgiving Day Everyone!

Morning Inspiration - Celia Cruz, La Vida Es Un Carnaval

Salsa Legend Celia Cruz's famous song, La Vida Es Un Carnival, is one of my all time favorite songs....Composed in Spanish, it's message is universal! I've posted the beginning lyrics followed by the English translation below. This song really embodies the spirit of living life to the fullest, knowing you're not alone and taking the lows in stride while being confident that the highs are just around the corner....

"Todo aquel que piense que la vida es desigual,
tiene que saber que no es asi,
que la vida es una hermosura, hay que vivirla.
Todo aquel que piense que esta solo y que esta mal,
tiene que saber que no es asi,
que en la vida no hay nadie solo, siempre hay alguien."

Translation:
"Everyone out there that thinks that life is unfair,
Needs to know that's not the case,
Because life is beautiful, you just have to live it.
Everyone out there that thinks they are alone and that that's bad
Needs to know that's not the case,
Because in life no one is alone, there is always someone"

These are just the beginning lyrics. Below is a link to a Youtube music video that shows the entire song translated in English subtext...Enjoy!
