Over the summer, a friend of mine passed. We hadn't seen one another in somewhere around 8 years, but that is irrelevant. This friend, was amazing. A truly good soul, that lived each and every day to the fullest. Bobby, you are missed.
To my point though - he always used to tell his wife "Never wish a day away", and that struck me. All too often, it is too easy to stick your head in the sand, and hide out, to hope the world spins a day without you, to call in sick to the human race for a day... Trust me, i am the QUEEN of doing that. I justify that existence well, and I do it all too often.
I have spent most of the past year sick with some unknown illness, that basically makes it painful and hard to breathe... and I think I have let that take control over way too much of my life. Where I could have made adaptations, I gave up. Where I could have modified, I hid.
So, this is me saying NO MORE. I might not be able to do everything I want, but I should be able to do something right? So, here's the game plan - my goal is to do at least two new things, or go two new places a week, and post about them here.
With that, and with this - perhaps I will create the accountability I need to take advantage of living in Europe for the next couple of years, and maybe I will just learn to like it (easy to say, hard to do) At the worst case, well, my brain will get some exercise from writing - I think I need to do that more often. Too much mommy time well, it turns a brain to mush...
So, in dedication to the adoption of a my new outlook - - I actually started trying this theory last weekend - the picture above is from Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. Definetly something one should try and do once in their lifetime, and definetly something I look forward to doing again next year... in a dirndl!
