'Carpe Viam' is going to be my new life saying.... it means to "seize the road"! I read it in the March 2008 issue of Runner's World and immediately liked it. It doesn't even have to pertain to just running (real runners run on the road... just my personal belief) but for me, it can refer to my driving ability (more below) and to life in general. If I want to make changes in my life - "carpe viam" - seize the road to change then!!! I think I might even have that inscribed on a charm for a necklace or something......
And yes people - I know the current blog design is dull and lifeless.... I will work on changing it some more. I'm considering taking this blog to Wordpress instead.... but I'll let you all know.
Thanks for keeping up with me and take care!

Things that make me happy....
Just a random thought list....
1. Getting to go on a mini-vacation in a little over a week!!!
2. My kids and all the stories they have to tell me.
3. Watching summer baseball games - whether it be t-ball, Colt, Girls or professional... this is what summer is for - baseball!
4. Reconnecting with old friends and finding new and fun things to do with all of them!
5. Realizing how much growing up I did over the last year and even better - realizing how much happier I am now too.
6. A late night romp.... and lengthy text message conversations.
7. Flowers for no reason
8. Skipping dinner and only being given a hard time about it for 5 minutes instead of 60.
9. A Friday night with no pressing plans.
10. Making plans to go out with friends on a Saturday.... and two weekends from now and a month from now and all of a sudden realizing what a full calendar I have.
11. Having someone contact you via a friend for a side job that will bring in some much needed cash around the holidays this fall/winter!
12. Remembering dear friends who have recently passed away and being able to celebrate their life with other friends I haven't seen in almost 10 years.
13. Every day waking up and not having a single twinge of regret...
14. Walking barefoot through the soft, green grass
15. Really great kisses....
16. Having a best friend to talk to who will give me honest feedback and does more for my mental well being than any drug could ever do.
17. Finally finding a beer that I truly enjoy drinking - just to drink a beer!
18. My first "bar shirt". (how I found the favorite beer)
19. The really good karoke singer who sounds exactly like Neil Diamond! I'm serious - he could win a contest!
20. Getting some much needed time on the computer to work on my blog layout and this post.
There's so much more..... but in another post soon!
Have a fantastic weekend! Be good to each other!
