#55 - Finally Me

Have you ever gotten to the end of a week and just felt compelled to do absolutely nothing?  Where the couch, a soft blanket, an old movie, and some alone-time sounded like the best medicine to cure an exhausted soul?  Well, as is evident by the fact I have not been posting daily this week, it has been one hell-of-a-week!

My timing for my comfort night in was perfect, however, because I got surprised by both of my children wanting to come have dinner with me.  The warm feelings in the house, laughter and smiles, giggles til it hurt, the perfect medicine for anything that ails.  What a perfect evening!  Talk about a battery recharge.  There seems to be nothing better than the feeling when your children WANT to come spend time with you.

The laughter continued into Saturday with bubbling laughter with friends as we dawned on our costumes and got mud-covered at the local Renaissance Festival.  We even were asked to be in photos with some of the other visitors at the festival.  What a blast it was.  The laughter never stopping until we finally parted ways.  This is what is the food of life, feeding our souls with happiness and fun. Sometimes a good rib-busting, breath taking, roll on the floor laughter is needed to clear your head and remind you what is most important, most needed in your life.  Friends and family, love and laughter.  Those are the fuel for a happy and healthy life.

Now I am wishing to have more time with friends, more time doing silly stuff with family, more time to just be me.  Time for me to figure out how to make more of this time.

Time to stop working so hard and not having time for me.  Time to make sure those I want in my world are involved in my fun time. Also time to remove the negatives in my world.  Those things that make me feel not good about myself, not good about how I spend my time, and not good about life in general.  Time to clean house! This will be the fall project, making space for my life to continue in a more positive light.



Thank you also to my palm reader at the festival for enlightening me to what I need to change.She had great messages that I knew already but neglected to see, or didn't want to see, or just kept pushing to the background in hopes it would just go away.

And last but not least, thank you to the doggie in the window for being such a sweetie, letting us pet her, and even reaching out and pawing for more lovin.

 Shout out to the dragon too, very cool, especially when it blew smoke.  

Even the Renn Potters were pretty cool.
