Lists

Lately, I have been thinking about the last couple of months; what they have taught me, allowed me to do, and just got me thinking about things. Mainly I realized that I stopped taking time for myself. I really believe that although losing my job was awful and I don't particularly recommend it, it has been an amazing opportunity to take back my time and concentrate on myself.

Early into my new found "free time," I made a list of things I wanted like to do at some point. Some are outrageous, some are simple, but all have pushed me to stop talking about doing things and get doing them. Losing my job became a great lesson that things are not always secure; your life can change in an instant. I realized that I was always waiting for a better time to take that art class I have always wanted to take or go on that road trip. So I made a decision to no longer wait for a better time, but get moving and fill my life with many adventures and have never been happier.


This week starts a new adventure...swing dance class!

We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live."
