Lookin' Up

What a whirlwind of a few years, huh!? I am so ready to just wipe the slate clean, shake it off and start over. Grab my hubby and get elbow deep in camping, remodeling, and just living. I can't help but think there should be better days on the horizon, but I don't want to get my hopes up! The last few times we did that we just got beat down harder :)

It's time to be optomistic about life and to know there is a reason I am, we are, still here. This Memorial Day weekend will be a great time to reflect on our struggles and losses, and an even better time to look up to the Heavens, give a hello and a wink and get on with life. Memorial Day weekend always seems to have that cleansing effect just before the kick off of summer. Long hard winters inside can really put you in a rut with life in general. Things slow down, or stop. I am so ready to speed it back up again. BBQs, fires, camping, swimming, boating (or floating, depending on how the boat runs!) paint walls, plant herbs (even though they will die- I kill all plants, silk ones too), cook lots of food and feed people, throw a party, buy that property, GO TO VEGAS!!!! Be with friends, family and have fun!

I have been waiting for this milestone weekend for about 10 months now. Maybe I have been holding it in my head as an excuse to finally let go of what has been pushing me down, but whatever the excuse I'm going full force! I am ready to go go go and I can't wait! Maybe even post some 'happy' blogs from now on. Just live life to its fullest and love lots along the way- I can't think of any reason why not. Life is short. Damn short, so you might as well try to live up to a legacy of love and friendship along the way because you can't take your paychecks with you when you go. We all look for a reason why we are here and others are not, but lets quit focusing on that and relish the fact that we are here so live it up and look up now and then to give a 'thanks' to those that have gone before us and taught us a great lesson!

Love you all, hope you have a fantastic holiday weekend and an even better summer!
