A Giant Leap of Faith.....

I've decided that I need to take a step back in "Life" ...... learn to let go a little (maybe more than a little...).....TRY to live more in the moment than always thinking what's next or what do I HAVE to get done to make it to the next moment or day................................My responsibilities in life have dragged me down and sucked all the FUN & PASSION out of me.....I'll admit it, having my Mom and MIL living here with us (7 yrs now...) has been tough, a blessing at times...but exhausting too.

I want to have fun again..........I want my husband, Michael and I to laugh more, actually I want to laugh more!!!! Let's face it.....I have lost my spirit, my humor, my passion, my excitement for everyday life.....ugh....I need to find it, embrace it and grow with it!!! No.....I'm not depressed, I'm just a bit lost...............trying to find my way...

So...................TODAY, I'm gonna start living in the moment.....I'm gonna work on finding the joy in each day, I'm gonna HUG my kids more than once a day.....I'm gonna hold my Husband's hand, I'm gonna say something nice not hurtful today..............I'm gonna Laugh today!!!!

(Turn the sound on your computer....and listen to my 1st song....says it all for me!) Thanks for sharing all my "Bolognie"......................................

I am sso with you on this Joan. I think it something we all need to do as we tend to get carried away with what's expected of us and we lose sight of the more important things. Laughing with your Hubby and your kids and giving them lots of hugs are the things they will always remember. Sending you hugs and a great big grin. xxxx

This song is on my ipod right now...LOVE it! Well I think I have like half of her album on my ipod! LOL. But they are the kind of songs that make you feel better about life in general. Keep ya postitive!

Hope you had a great day!

I love this song!!!! I love that you are doing this.....it is so much easier to look for little things that are happy....to hold the door for someone...even is they do not say thank you!!!! Hold you husband's hand, blow a kiss at yourself in the mirror or make a funny face....I am a true believer that positive goes so much farther than negative....I am you #1 cheerleader and you know just how much I adore you!!!!! Smiles to you today sweet friend. :)

I hear that. That's why next year I am totally changing my business around, only doing four shows (instead of 20) so we'll have lots more weekends free, and I can breathe and relax and find ME again.

This post really talks to me so I decided to comment.

I live in Durban, South Africa and have your blog on my Google Reader ...

Sometimes I get lost too - losing parts of yourself is scary BUT I reckon since we are in control of ourselves, these parts are probably the easiest to get back ...

GOOD LUCK!!
