I am official. I got a response to my online entry! Well it was more that I expected!
Thanks to Sean Moore for christening my blog. P.S. if any hot single south Florida women are reading this check him out his blog is called on sean's mind. He is a cute, young, and single.
So I was thinking about my so-called life. I think as responsible citizens we get our priorities screwed up. We are supposed to work and provide for our family, and ourselves but when does that leave time for anything else? We have one life to live and enjoy and love and experience new things but how many of us are trapped in a 9 x 8 cubicle all day, then race home to deal with school, or families, only to end up too exhausted to do anything but go to bed? There has to be more to life then this? I admire the irresponsible people at times, the ones who choose adventure over mediocrity. There is a country song that has the lyrics.. "Is there life out there, so much she has not know.. is there life beyond her family and her home..she does what she should..should she do what she dares.. she doesn't want to leave but she wonders is there life out there.
I guess I am melancholy. I just don't remember when dreaming of what I wanted to be when I grow up as an exhausted office worker, who has never done anything really, or traveled anywhere? In today's economy who can afford it? Gas prices can equal a small car payment now? Does anyone remember the day's when a single household income, yes usually earned by the man, provided food, clothing, a nice warm roof over your head, family vacations, and a car complete with Sunday road trips? Now you can't live on two paychecks.. unless one of you works two jobs!! I am not the type to kvetch (complain) and do nothing about it. I go to school at night to earn more money than I am currently making, I am trying to get over my fear of travel (hard to do when you have no money or energy to go anywhere). I am also trying to get over my fear of crowds (again hard to do when you have no energy) and I do not know a lot of people. I use to make friends easily but work encompasses so much of what I do that it is hard.
So today I encourage everyone, ok the one person who may read this blog, to find a dream to follow. Life should be an action adventure movie, not a passive wallflower existence.
Viva la dia.Live the day.

Deep Thoughts, by Sean Moore. I have to say I totally agree with Sean on this one. I can't even think of anything else to say b/c he pretty much covered any response I would make. By the way, welcome to Blogging!
I think we all have the problem of living our lives, and wanting something more...the family person, man or woman, or ones with much responsiblitly, yearn for a simple irresponsible, care free life....and those with hardly any ties...(Sean...lol) yearn for the responsibilities of family and love...ahhhh what a vicious cycle our lives truly are....I think we all have days when we are melancholy...lord knows I do...I know I dreamed of being able to stay home with my kids, and still be able to give them a good life, with a wonderful home...now I think, what the hell was I thinking? now I'm a 37 year old woman, who has no life...And, I know some would disagree...I have a husband who I love more than anything,..the love of my life since I was 15...and three beautiful healthy kids...But they will be gone before I know it...having their own life...And I have nothing...at least most days, that's how it feels...And, I also have dreams...I just don't know what they are anymore...I still ask, what do I want to be when I grow up??? And then I remember, wow...I AM grown up....ah well...what are ya gonna do? Pluck along in the game called life, and hope you live a half way happy life, and take someones breath away...right sean??...lol...
Also...welcome to blogging...I know Im addicted...thanks for posting at mine...I didn't get to your site before I posted again at mine, but I also wanted to welcome another Harry Potter fan....lol...I ragged on the movie at my site...lol....again...welcome to the blogging world...keep in touch, and I will check back often at yours....have a great day
Wow. Thank you all for welcoming me.
I'll start with Sean, you made me cry. Something I don't do very often. I have always been the pillar, the rock, the tough "guy". I was thinking of a lot of the things you wrote about today before I read your post..I too have time on my hands going to and from work. Eariler I read what you wrote on your blog... and I laugh because I posted to yours before I read what you wrote to me.. I too posed a question for you to answer.. You're envious can she block her feelings.. I am envious to the irresponsible ones.. our envy is for the same reasons because we, ourselves, could not do it. You could be carefree yet your crave what some your age would call tied down.. I who has almost always lived life by "da rules" envy those who dont... we see what we cant do, wouldn't do, yet were enticed by that difference.
I starting thinking like you Just me.. what do I want to do when I grow up.. wait I am a grown up.
It is a scary and shocking moment in time.. then I started thinking am I what I wanted to be..
Simply NO. I wanted to be an astronaught...that dream got poped when I developed asthma as a teen, I wanted to be a cop.. and I still may go down that road.. but time is not on my side...
Bri thanks for the welcome and yes Sean has a way with words.
I guess the old saying the grass is greener applies here.. I know.. I would not change my life because it would mean changing who I am.. something I would never trade.
There are days I just do not feel like I have fifilled my potential.. and sometimes I wonder if I am going the wrong way.
