"Again & again 'til I get it right..."

 

There are days when I think I want to say many things on social media... to either respond to something or to simply put it all out there.  No sugar coating anything. 

You know, minus the whole Zumba thang I already say. 

I think people like to somehow relate to what's going on in someone else's life.

I mean really.  I lead a pretty interesting & also frickin boring life all at the same time that could be entertaining to at least one person if I checked in or updated my status all the time.  Like today for instance... left the Y, had lunch & then proceeded to hide in my craft room from the rest of the world. 

And yes, if I have to, I will eventually take a shower.   

There are also days when I think I should probably ask for prayers for someone I love.  But then I might get my ass kicked for even mentioning it on social media. 

Just say a few prayers anyway pretty please.

And I was talking to a friend a couple days ago & we agreed that a lot of the time people want to hear what you have to say about how you really feel or what's going on in your life, not necessarily because they really "care," but sometimes because they're curious & possibly judgemental. 

They're saying Amen, sister & thinking... whew... isn't she a hot mess!

I personally like when someone opens up & shows their true colors.  Even if it's not pretty.  Not only does it give you a closer connection to them, but it also reminds you that we're all just human.  We're all just trying to make it in this crazy world. 

Nobody's perfect... I gotta work it. 

Thank you Hannah Montana for those cute lyrics when you were young, cute & not twerking your ass like a fool on stage. 

And by the way that would've been TOTALLY fine if she was shakin that ass in Zumba & not on TV.  That's how we roll. 

 

And then there's my teenager.  This beautiful girl, who came into my life, and who's given me this important role of teaching her to navigate through the world on her own.  This girl, who's in a hurry to grow up, not unlike most of us probably were at that age.  And I find myself wishing time didn't fly by so fast & that she was still my little girl at home with me all day.  That little girl who once asked me to take a picture of her by a mannequin & said, "Take a picture of me by my boyfriend, mama."   Should've been my first clue I had a boy-crazy daughter on my hands.

 Mid life is a crazy time of life.  So many mixed emotions... one of which is wishing I could stop the clock, not only for her, but because I'm so not ready to grow up either... which is apparent in this video that Bryn & I made a few weeks ago for someone's birthday.  I just want to have fun.  Like all the time.  Unrealistic, I know.  But it's probably why I love Zumba so much.  It's an hour of fun. 

 

The way I am & the way I act, has a lot to do with the apple not falling far from the tree.  The good, the bad, the crazy, the ugly.  Thank you, Mom & Dad. 

And well, Bryn Boston, there ya go.  I'm sorry & you're welcome, that you act a lot like me, you boy-crazy-thang.  Lord help me.   

But you are one cool chick, so carry on..

can totally relate... and at our age... who cares what other's think... It's nice to know we can find our H.A.P.P.Y place... Here's to hoping our daughters find their H.A.P.P.Y place (and we're included in it - even through the teenage years)....and don't worry about what others say... because finding H.A.P.P.Y moments make life...

thanks for sharing!!! {{hugs}} M
