New Seasoning Just Adds A New Flavor To The Soul!

About 2 weeks ago I picked up yoga and meditation from a friend. 2 weeks straight I have found myself everymorning pushing through aches and pains of my oh so tightened muscles and accomplishing more than just an hour and a half of rapid heartbeats. Ive noticed my mind is more focused, less confused of whats goin on around me. Ive even got a little witty charm back.
I smile more, and most of all Im loving myself! Something I havent done in a really long time.
Ive mended some friendships that diffently needed mending. Im on a path to bliss. How corny is that? As it maybe I welcome this bliss. I love all my dear friends that I have. But there are 3 that stand out the most. You 3 people have influenced my change and my ability to let the past be the past. Also that its okay to be wierd, to be me. Even though I get complicated YOU still accept me for all that I am.
Tara, we go wayyyyy back. Weve literally have had our up and downs.Someway we always find that our friendship has no bounds. You show me that in a world of caious?(lol) that if you look inside yourself there is the calm to get you through the day.I will always be true to myself because of you. Because of you I will always stand for what I believe in no matter if its the popular thing to do. You inspire me!!
Leland, Im happy that the internet has brought us into eachothers life. You are the big brother I never had. Through all my silly rantings and babbles you always make me laugh. In your quietness you say soooo much. I think thats why we relate to eachother so well. You made me realize that its not wrong to be the one with the less words. Its actually smarter to be that person. You have helped me be comfortable in a room full of noise. And to Love being WEIRD.You also inspire me!!
Leslie, you have diffently helped me see that there is always a brighterside. No matter if the storm is here for weeks or just a minute.Our friendship has been tested through some tough things and we always push through them. You make me want to stand tall and love myself deeper than I ever have before. You have diffently made me believe that I am worth something. You also inspire me!!
I know some people will think that its weird that these 3 people have influenced me the most... but I have my little family that diffently bring their own encouragment and reasons to better me.. But I just think its simply amazing that I have 3 people outside my little house that can impact my life just as much as my family does. Tara, Leland, and Leslie never havet to knock on my front door. THey are my family.

Fantasy and Child like Tendencys

What A great 2 weeks! Well there was 2 days that was just absolutely dreadful but the cause was me and Im at peace with that now. I hope all will be healed from the heartache I caused.

But the reason why I say its been a great 2 weeks is because Macy has made alot of new friends, and their all girls! Go figure! The suns been out, we come home from school and were headed out the door. I usually play with Macy for about 30-40 min before the neighborhood kids walk their way through the fence and engage Macy into a funfilled evening. (It makes a mother happy)

Yesterday Macy wanted to play archealogist and the knight(saver of the lost world) being the knight as the saver. When she was getting her gear together her friend from down the street came over and they decided to play knight and queen. (I was the queen)

Were outside Macy has her gold apron dress up costume on and the little girl has a pink dress up skirt on. I was givin a feather duster as a sword and all of a sudden I was no longer the Queen. I was the intruder of the Anderson kingdom and they were the princesses trying to save it.

(they also had swords,sticks) I felt like I was putting on a pretty good fight. I had Princess Rutobaga(Macy), at least I thought until she annouced that she had special healing powers. And Princess Pickel Nose(neighbor girl) was stricking me cutting my arms and legs. It was painful. But shortly after Princess Rutobaga snuck up from behind and got me right in the kisser. I was defeated and I fell to my death, but of course this did not satisfy Princess Rutobaga. She took my own sword and beheaded me. Oh yeah and the Kingdom dragon was our dog edward.He too decided to use his special licking powers as I was laying on the ground after being defeated.

Once we were done with that scenerio we quickly moved into Playing Princesses and Queens. Of course me being Queen. It was the best day I think Ive had in a really long time. Ive always played pretend with Macy but not really to that extent, what I mean by that is.. I never really allowed myself to be the character that Macy wanted me to be. Yesterday I did.

After supper (the neighbor girl ate with us) the other 2 girls from down the street came over. They were outside playing and well I just didnt get enough of being outside and amongest the kids so I told them we were gonna play kickball. We played and had a great time doing that. Macy of course taunted me the whole time, (shes mean) we also played dodgeball and soccer and we were about to play baseball but the kids parents called them home around 730.

All in all it was a great DAY and great 2 weeks! Hours and hours of playing and feeling like a child. No worries of a grown up. You know we always say we wish we could be little again. My advice is.. get out there and play your favorite childhood games, with the kids. You will feel like a kid. And its funny when all the other kids are just weirded out by an adult participating. They couldnt stop laughing at me. They werent bein mean, just enthused that an adult would allow oneself to be childlike also!
