[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Welcome to This Day in Barrington History” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]Good morning and welcome to February 13th and Day 44 of 365 in Barrington, Illinois! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage. Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.
On this day, February 13th in 1950, Peter Gabriel was born. The English singer-songwriter and record producer with Genesis had the 1974 UK No.21 single ‘I Know What I Like In Your Wardrobe’. Gabriel left Genesis in 1975 to launch his solo career and had the 1986 US No.1 & UK No.4 single ‘Sledgehammer’ from the 1986 UK No.1 & US No.2 album So.
“In Your Eyes” was pulled as the third single from So back in September of 1986. Did you know, Gabriel’s lyrics in this song were inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity in song between romantic love and love of God? (Thanks, Wikipedia!)
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Song of the Day” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]
“In Your Eyes” reentered the US music charts, reaching #41 when it was featured in the classic 1989 teen drama/high-school film, Say Anything starring John Cusack and Ione Skye.
Who could forget iconic scene from the film when broken-hearted Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) serenades his ex-girlfriend, Diane Court (Ione Skye), outside her bedroom window by holding a boombox up above his head and playing the song for her. Say Anything was released on April 14, 1989, just three months before I turned 16. (sigh)

It’s going to be hot weekend. Perfect for a water balloon fight. But don’t waste your money or time on latex water balloons. Reusable water balloons are what you need.
Grab a bucket of water and add your balloons. They automatically fill close with magnets.
Fill - Throw- Repeat
Fun and Good for the environment. Win-win.

Writing for just 5-10 minutes a day for three consecutive days can significantly boost your mental health. This simple practice, known as expressive writing, helps reduce stress and improves emotional well-being by allowing you to process your thoughts and feelings. Studies have shown that such short-term writing interventions can lead to better mood, reduced anxiety, and even improved physical health by enhancing immune function. Make it a habit to write regularly and see the positive impact it has on your mental clarity and overall health.

Taking a 5-10 minute walk daily can significantly boost your mental health. This simple activity helps reduce stress, improve mood, and increase overall emotional well-being. Walking, especially in nature, promotes relaxation and positive mental states by lowering anxiety levels and encouraging a sense of calm. Even a brief stroll can make a difference, so step outside and take advantage of the mental health benefits that a daily walk can offer.

If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse. 💥
Coach Kelly broke her foot about a month ago.
This girl has not missed a single workout.
She comes in, modifies as needed and still gets a great workout.
Today she told me how much fun she is having in her training and looks at it as an opportunity to help further our knowledge on helping athletes modify workouts.
Find a way through instead of setting yourself back.
Thank you for being a great example Coach Kelly!
