Joie De Vivre – The joy of living

The joy of living involves your whole being in anything that you do.

Today, for me, it’s simply that I’m outside and I’m so happy and grateful that today is a beautiful day!  I hear the birds. I feel the sun and the wind. I see a dogwood tree in bloom.

Fully Enjoy Your Life!

The Perfect Life = A Life You Don’t Need to Escape From

“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, you ought to set up a life you don’t need to escape from.”  Seth Godin

I love what I am doing.  I could sit here all day long blogging, writing,  exploring places that I want to travel too, and how I am going to make it possible to live my dream.  I love it so much so, that at times I have to force myself to step away,  to interact with friends.  I guess the pull is so strong because for years I was miserable doing “all the right things”.  Things that friends and family expected of me, and was more the norm.

I’m not going to lie. I have moments where I think I may be crazy, because my new life is going against the way I have lived for years, and I wonder if I will make it.  But, I am happy for the first time in years, and that seems rather priceless to me right now.

Money and your material possessions can be taking away from you, how you feel inside can not.  Isn’t it time we started focusing on what brings us joy,  start working our passion, and creating the lives that we want.

Love is Blind

Love is Blind is a saying that we all know and understand. When our vision in restored, we wonder how could we’ve missed all of those signs!  The really scary part is that we seem to go through life, with blinders in place in all areas of our lives, focusing on only what it is that we want to see.  This focus becomes our reality, missing out on the good and the bad of what’s around us, skewing our perspective and leading us astray.

What’s the real reality around you?  Take a moment to look at your life as if you were watching it from a different angle – may be like you would a movie.  What you didn’t see before, should come into focus.
