Moving forward

I keep pushing myself to the limit and it feels awesome! I've been riding 18 miles with resistance while I listen to my iPod. By the way-Isn't music amazing! You can instantly travel to a nightclub, a show ( remember SOMA in SD) , the beach, your teenage years etc etc. As you listen you can travel back in time and experience that great moment again. I miss going to shows- a few bucks and a night of fun. I remember a few years back going to Canes in PB to see Buck O Nine. - Even though I am so much older now and even the band has kids ( I spoke with them) it was still so much fun. My boys are really getting into music now and its so fun to listen to my stuff in the car or kitchen without having to think twice because now they think its cool and we are finally passed the stage of listening to "kid" music. Well except Noah he's still little. So I've been pushing myself, trying to do it all to experiencec life to it's fullest. I'm about to turn 33 but when I look in the mirror I feel 21. I actually think I am in better shape now then when I was 21! But I want to keep going and acheive my ultimate goals- physically, culturally, spiritually etc etc. You only live once so why not. I often think of porno for pyros ( a band) and in one of my favorite songs it says" all the guys who really have the money are too old to have a good time with it!" We need to experience life now- Not I will be happy when .. or someday we will... we need to make it happen now before the moment passes us by- so I'm trying to move foward , take a good look at myself and see what it is I want to experience - Granted I am a mom and there's all those responsibilities blah blah blah but there is also fun a lot of fun to be had no matter what your age and we can't lose sight of who we are and what we want. As Darcy shared with me being a Mother is what we 'do' but it's not entirely who we are. We are human "beings" and sometimes we need to just "be" -- we are not human 'doings' Sometimes I forget about that. So while we are moving to have the ultimate life lets also just be and enjoy every moment!

I am glad that you are feeling better! That was a bad stomach flu, and super contagious!

I can't believe that Jordan is already able to babysit! I still remember that little boy giving his first talk in primary! Time goes by too fast!

Way to go riding 18 miles. I am going to by the wii fit! I need to do something!
