Breathe: You Are OK

I discovered another thought-provoking sign in Laguna Beach!
This one may be my favorite, because it incorporates the best aspects of the other signs.
It is a wonderful reminder that we need to breath and relax. We are OK!
This sign is placed along a path on a cliff overlooking the ocean in Laguna Beach. While so many people simply run past these signs, I think they are a heavenly reminder of opening ourselves to the best life has to offer!

@DianneN - I have not seen any plaques attributing an artist, which is common around most of the works of art in Laguna Beach. I suppose the city commissioned them, but other than that, I don't know anything about them. I'm enjoying them, however!

I would prefer it say your rent will be a 1/4 of your salary not 60 percent like in the old days. Then I would feel better about that sign. That sign is there so we do not kill our landlords.

@crossbones27 - Yes, you make a good point. Rents have gotten crazy expensive in California. I remember when my husband and I were first married and we had an apartment at the beach in San Diego for $200 a month. It was great in those days!

If the sign is by a cliff overlooking the ocean then it is a wonderful reminder for people to stop and look at the ocean. To enjoy what they see and not to just rush by.

@playertwo too bad for the distances but if you wanted to see the ocean you would have to visit me. I can walk to the ocean.

@noni1959 - Whenever I see these signs, I try to simply slow down my steps, look out at the ocean, and relax!

The sign conveys the message that we should enjoy as full a life as possible and don't overtax ourselves.

That's a cool sign. They should post them on the interstates during rush hour....

@FourWalls - I love the idea of posting them along the interstates! Perhaps it would encourage drivers to slow down a little and enjoy the view!

They had to have been approved by the city.
