Today is the Day...

Today is the day to do what I keep saying I'm going to do....my 300 sit ups this morning, posting a blog, catching up on email, finalizing projects.....of course I can never complete it all, but I have to start somewhere!

It's amazing how a massive list of "to do's" can stifle more than stimulate. So often I'm overwhelmed and paralyzed by all that I have to do, that it keeps me from doing anything! But today is different - today the two month count down begins to my wedding....and there is no "tomorrow" for getting things done!

There is also this increasing desire in me to just LIVE! I envy the people out reading a book, riding a bike, or walking their dog while I drive to work....but it doesn't matter what they can or can't do....what matters most is what I choose to do with the hours in my own day!

There are certain activities that seem to lend themselves to deeper discovery on a daily basis....the things that I often put off or promise to do later. But in reality these are the small things that make me feel ALIVE and ENGAGED in the world around me!!

Reflecting/Thinking-Reading-Writing-Singing-Selfless Acts-Follow Through-Taking Action-Laughing-Loving-Listening-Giving-Feeling-Sharing-Accomplishing-Resting-Being....

I guess I could actually go on and on with this list. There are so many things that create life and energy - even, or perhaps especially, in the midst of a busy world. So by way of this blog, I'm hoping to LIVE a bit more today...to LOVE at a deeper level - to think about things from a different perspective - to push myself out of stagnation into LIFE without looking back:)
