Stop fearing and live your life

If you want to eliminate fear out of your life, the simplest way to do so is talk to a kid.  Kids have no fear to a degree and I guess that’s what gets them in trouble at times. But think of this, what do you have the greatest memories from and you more intense moments? Your childhood right? Think of all the careless, carefree things you did without hesitation when you were young? What kind of feelings did it give you then and what feeling does it give you now just thinking about it?

My kids do just that for me.  Not only do they bring me back in time, but they say to me, mom stop worrying just do it. So little by little I am.  Yesterday though I missed an opportunity of a life time.  I had the chance to go with both my sons(13 and 14) on a flight lesson over Piseco Lake in NY. Why? Because I was afraid.  That fear slighted me of something so amazing. How stupid can I be??? 

I guess I can’t beat myself up too much. Baby steps right? I fly high on the swings with them, I race on bicycles with them, we play manhunt at night, and we tell spooky stories by the fire.  I’m getting those feelings back and I feel like I’m starting life all over again. What a feeling!!!

Swing high on that swing my friends. Go for that rush you once had when you were younger.  You never know if you’ll get that opportunity again.

First and foremost, life is too short to not do the things you want to do in life. Even the simple things that make us happy shouldn’t be discounted like, resting, watching tv, writing, snuggling, listening to the rain, indulging in our favorite foods once in a while, taking a nap, letting the laundry go for a day or two, reading, and just thinking.

You’d be surprised how replenished you can feel just by doing those simple things that do not cost a cent.

Don’t feel guilty about living the life that you want and what makes you feel good. 13133103_10209372301970528_7273809905913075704_n

 

Lunch in upstate NY, Casa Too Mucha

For a Wednesday a.k.a. hump day, I must say it turned out to be a great day. My kids had a snow day, the office was slow, and I didn’t have to substitute teach either. Woo hoo! So we went to lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant called Casa Too Mucha. The title is very deceiving because its far from expensive.

The menu ranges from Mexican food to anything and everything else. Everything on the menu is homemade and delicious! My favorite is the chicken chimichanga. Oi!  And yes they still have their Christmas tree up but that makes the place even more special. The owners are so welcoming and the place is cozy as heck.

Since we had a little time to kill after lunch we did a little shopping at Marshall’s in Rome, NY. If once or twice a month I can go in there just to catch some deals I am more than a happy camper. Seriously, you can’t beat their prices on some of their stuff. Good quality leggings for $5.99 really??? And a sweet little tunic for $9.99. How can you go wrong??

I love finding good buys. Two recommendations if you’re ever in the upstate NY area. Casa Too Mucha for a great meal and Marshall’s for great deals on household items, clothing, etc. You can’t go wrong.

The weekend is almost here and we are suppose to be going to the movies and out to eat. I’ll be doing a movie critic review as well as dining review again this weekend! Enjoy your day everyone!

Winter, a time to rejuvenate and watch Netflix.

Well I can’t say that I’m surprised or shocked that I am once again sick during the holiday season. It only hits me once a year and that once a year time being now. It never fails but then again I feel like there is no better time than now to rest my mind and body, rejuvenate myself as a whole, and even reflect a little bit.

I get in this mood to post a blog and then all of a sudden it fades. I wish I could be consistent with blogging. Is time a factor, mood, or what? I guess a combination of things.

Today’s post is just a hodge podge of thoughts and comments today. I’ve been on a Netflix binge while being sick and here are just a few movies that I highly recommend. Neerja (true story), Colonia Dignidad (true events), and The Siege of Jadotville. All three were excellent. Scary but true. Makes you think about life a little deeper. Yes they all took place at during a different time period than now but things like this still take place in today’s day and age. Crazy.

Yup that’s me walking Mugs. Someone has to right? Sick and all a mom’s work is never done. mugs
