It was fabulous.
And today when I was walking I started to think about it. After two walks this week that left me wondering when I got so out of shape, today was sweltering, sweaty, energizing, and fabulous. It was a walk that gave me hope that maybe I wasn't so... well, hopeless. By the end of the walk I was thinking of spinning again. That's how good the walk was.
I also started to wonder what else I could do, what other walls I could push through, to get to the other side where fabulous waits, and immediately writing came to mind. It's so similar to working out it scares me.
It's always something I feel like I have to do, but ALWAYS feel better when I'm done.
It's one of those few things in life that leaves me with more energy and excitement.
It produces hope and joy... two things I can never have enough of.
Here are a few other things that I think are just fabulous...
- That perfect margarita on a hot summer night.
- The text that comes at exactly the moment you need it.
- The power nap.
- Hearing laughter from your kids.
- Songs that make you want to dance.
- Action films featuring Channing Tatum.
- Iced coffee
- Reading through old posts and having the strongest feeling of wonder and pride.
- Planning a girls weekend.
- The gift of writing.
Of course I could go on and on, because life is fabulous. Sometimes we just have to recognize it, accept it into our lives, and let go of the stuff that brings us down. I read a passage in a book recently that put it as simple as this: Do you want to be happy, or do you want to hang on to the baggage of the past?
I know, more than anyone else, that while it seems like an easy choice, it's not always that easy. I am working on letting go, and I hope you are too.
What's on your fabulous list? Yes, you have to write one now.
Happy Sunday!
