Greece

My thoughts are taking me everywhere tonight. The birds outside my window are reminding me I have been in one place for too long now. 

There was a time when all I wanted was to settle down. No longer settling for anything or any one place.


Life is not meant to be stagnant. It is meant to have constant and energetic movement.


I am in love. Deeply, passionately, and madly in love.  He is everything I could have hoped for in a man.  As if he stepped off the pages of my dream book and into my life. Just writing about him makes me happy, free, breathless!


And, that is what life is meant to feel like.  Happiness.  Freedom.  Breathtaking.  If we are not spending our time in the pursuit of happiness, then what are we doing?


All of us journey in our minds.  But do we feel it with our hearts?  Are we swept away by pure emotion? Do we ride the wave in without fear of wiping out?  If not, then we should!  We must!  Because this is what living is all about... taking every moment we have and living it, feeling it, eating, drinking, loving it.  
Alone, with a partner, in a group, or as a spectator - live!  


Our partners all too often want to hold us back from being all we can be because they fear losing us.  Sadly, they lose us anyway.  If not physically, then emotionally.  They lose the spirit, the joy, the imagination that made us what we were when they fell in love with us.  


We must never accept sitting idly watching our own life pass us by while other live it for us.


The only time one should sit idly by is when they are in the South of France sitting at an outdoor cafe watching all the beautiful people go by.  There is always an exception to ever rule... but make this the exception.


Set sail friends. Chart a course for happiness, adventure, and breathtaking thrills because it is your birth right to be happy, free and living life to its fullest!
