It is one of the most beautiful days that I can remember here in Lysaker! Days like today, when we sit outside and take a few minutes to take it in, really do seem to have an effect on our overall moods.
I was curious about this, so looked into it (ie: Googled) and found that there is research showing that the sound of water movement actually alters wave patterns in the brain putting you into a
