Everything right now seems a little too magical, fun, inspiring and easy. It's like the universe is spinning right around me...I'm obviously NOT PMS-ing.

So I told you in my last post that I have read The Best Year of Your Life: Dream It, Plan It, Live It once before. I pretty much read it upon the recommendation of my friend. I found it interesting, inspiring and informational, but it didn't give me enough to really start acting...you know, doing the things that were prescribed for me to do in order to have the best year of my life. But I did gain a lot from the first read.

Last night as I started reading the preface, it all started flooding back to me and It was like every word was an epiphany. Then today I went to church with my husband (long story short: we don't get to go together often) and every word the Pastor said and every song we sang spoke right to my heart and chimed right in with the book.

Without getting long-winded and spoiling the book...I'm just going to say that it was totally "right on" and I can't wait to keep reading.

P.S. This post was actually written like three days ago, but my internet has been down. What the hell is a DNS server anyway and why doesn't it communicate???

I have decided to read The Best Year of Your Life, by Debbie Ford...again. I've read it once before and felt like I truly benefited from it. It may be because of this book that I became conscious of the need for balance in my life. I mean, we all WANT balance...but becoming aware of it and then deciding to do something about it, well that's a whole other thing. And then, once you decide to do something about it, knowing where to start or what to do - I'm just glad this book was referred to me by a good friend.

I meant to read it while I was at the park with the boys. But they were all over the place like curly hair on a humid afternoon. I was partially bitter until I remembered our little wrestling match from last night. It was then that I took a deep breath and allowed myself to be a kid again. Instead of being the Mom that is paranoid and precautionary, I became the friend that encourages and participates. And I had fun!

Anyway, now that I've become more aware of my various characters in this so-called life of mine, I've been able to accept them and deal with them, even like them.

So, if you want to read along with me, it'll be fun, like a book club or something. If that doesn't float your boat, it's still a good book, I would recommend it to anyone. Quick and easy, here's the link to Amazon...
