DAY 42 OF 365: WEEKEND, WHERE DID YOU GO?

How is it that the older we get, the quicker the days go? If I sneeze I might just lose a day. Any more, the weekends just fly by and by the time I fully recharge and feel relaxed enough to enjoy the weekend, it’s Monday. Now, I did accomplish allot this weekend including a session with Jessica, some grocery shopping, bill paying, tax preparation, cleaning, laundry and some cooking. But now that I think about, what did I do that was fun? On 90210, the ladies of West Bev went to a yoga retreat to Ojai. On The Vampire Diaries, Stephan and Elena went up to her families cabin for a relaxing getaway. Me, I retreat to the TV to be a third wheel on these adventures, living vicariously through fake characters. My point is, Life is too short and there is so much out there to explore. The more I work out and eat healthy, the more energy I have to do more. I want this dreadful winter to be over so that I can enjoy the great outdoors. At the Chelsea Piers, where we film the Law and Orders, there is this rock climbing facility that I am dying to try out. Not to mention the traipse on the Hudson River. Remember that episode of Sex and the City where Carrie had to get over her fear and do the traipse? Well that's me. My sister along with my Aunts and Uncle went skydiving. That’s right, they jumped out of a plane with a parachute. How cool would that be? All things that I normally wouldn’t have thought about trying, but because of working out and eating healthy, I am starting to see just how fun they can be. Well maybe not how fun they could be, but more like life is short. Why not make the most out of it! I don’t want to look back on my life and wonder what if. I want to look back and say, yes I did that. Growing up I had so many dreams and aspirations, some of which I went after, others I just let fade away. Its time that I went after what I want in life and not to let anything stand in my way. The point is, I have never felt better. I wake up every morning excited for what the day holds. I still have days that I don’t want to get out of bed and don’t want to go to work. But I am human. There would be something wrong with me if I didn’t. So if you take anything away from this entry, it should be this. Live life to the fullest for YOU! Don’t live it for others, or your kids or your parents. Well, I have to go to bed. I have a date tomorrow with Uncle Sam. Let’s hope that this Valentine’s day he is in a giving mood. Till tomorrow.
