I'M.......(fill in the blank)

I have been doing a lot of soul and self searching lately.  I am working on doing things MY way for ME.  I know I will not always be right...and might even make people shake their heads.  In any case it is right for me at that moment.  It is my normal!  

I look at words and things people share on Facebook.  Impossible.....vs I'm possible; imperfect vs I'm perfect....the list can go on.

What I do realize is I AM POSSIBLE.  The impossible is the fear in your head.  It might not be right or reasonable.  I sometimes feel like yoga is impossible for me to do.  I lack the flexibility.  That is that inner devil talking.  If I make no changes the voices in my head win.  My answer to that is I am going Tuesday night to my first hot yoga class....now of that I am afraid!  I don't do heat well!!  I am, however, walking in and plan to do the best I can.......and someday it will be good as I will limber up and stretch the muscles I have.  I might even feel like the limber ballerina I once was!!   

I am also PERFECT for me!  I don't need to measure myself up to anyone else because we are all different.  I may, on occasion, be jealous of something someone is doing but that gives me the chance to make a dream of it myself!  We are human, we are flawed and I am embracing all my flaws.......each and every one of them!  I might even make new flaws every day as I retire others.  How lucky am I to be able to do all of this?!    

I have my whole life ahead of me and I plan to keep myself on my toes.....pushing the limits and having fun.  I might have to do something like a friend is doing......a summer bucket list.  Maybe mine will be a fall one but in anycase it will happen and at the end of the day, I will reflect on a beautiful sunset like this one started out to be and know how lucky I am and how juicy my life can be!  It is just waiting for me!

  1. Love your attitude, Elaine! I need to start my own bucket list, especially now that I'm in a brand new area - I'm sure I can find lots to do here that I've never done before! We all need to live fearlessly and NEVER let what others think of us influence who we are or what we choose to do with our lives!

    Can't wait to see you again in just a few weeks!!! HUGS!

  2. I am so glad you are thinking about a Summer bucket list. The season is young, and I am sure you can find a few special things to fill it! I love your attitude that you are perfect for YOU. You don't have to be better than anyone... just a little better than you were yesterday! :)
    Enjoy your sunsets!
