Exciting news!

SO I got this poem the other day, I just had a conversation with a friend about this exact thing & there is this! I find myself doing just this -waiting to really live!

Stop waiting..... Until your car or home is paid off
Until you get a new car or new house
Until your kids leave the house
Until you go back to school
Until you finish school
Until you clean the house
Until you organize the garage
Until you clean off your desk
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married
Until you get a divorce
Until you have kids
Until the kids go to school
Until you retire
Until summer
Until spring
Until winter
Until fall
Until you die...
There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So work like you don't need money. Love like you've never been hurt, and, Dance like no one's watching.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, Be afraid that it will never begin.

Which brings me to the exciting news! I am going on a trip to Germany this coming Tuesday! I was going to go & then I wasn't & then I was & then... I am definetly going! I have the tickets, I have the suitcase almost packed, I have the long list of things to do. I have the nervous stomach I always get before I go anywhere BIG!
SO why am I going you may ask? My friend Katrin is getting married the Saturday before Easter. She is my daughters godmother & we have been friends for almost 19 years. I had to be there, there was no alternative.
So all the 'stuff' had to wait. All the excuses had to go.
I am so excited!
Check back while I am gone... I hope to be able to update while I am gone.
