So, I actually had a fantastic weekend this past weekend….I felt like a real person, with a real life….opposed to my normal life which consists of going to work, going to school, doing homework, going to the gym and picking up dog poop (rinse and repeat). This weekend the hubby and I actually relaxed…..a rare occurrence!
Saturday night, after 2 hrs at the gym (which felt great), we were very excited to go to a local club/lounge to watch his friend DJ. Unfortunately, there was some huge party the night before and so the place was empty; go freakin figure!! However, we (and by we, I mean the hubby) grabbed some drinks, sat at the very empty VIP tables and got to hang out and talk. Since I was not drinking (DD) our conversation got more and more amusing for me as the night went on while my hubby was on drink 8 or 9. So, I guess the night didn’t end up so bad after all. Moral: You don’t need to drink to have a great time…as long as someone has alcohol 🙂
Sunday we decided to make sure we didn’t rely on anyone for our fun!! We went and had appetizers at a Mediterranean restaurant, did some shopping, and then went for a couples massage. To many people reserve massages for vacation, which I find to be a very misguided viewpoint!! Massages are for everyday life too!! If you incorporate them in your daily activities I honestly think you will improve your daily life (not just your 1 week of vacation).
Anyway, after a fantastic, relaxing weekend out we figured it was only fair to take our dogs for a walk…..and there I was…back to picking up dog poop! We’ll I didn’t technically pick it up….but the act of pick up poop was back in my life….how did this happen?? I guess there is no avoiding life; you just need to embrace it….which is ofcourse what I am realizing as I write this. In retrospect: I was able to be with my three favorite people/pets in the whole world, it was a gorgeous night out for a walk, I was able to stretch my legs after a grueling work-out, and even though there was poop involved, my hubby picked it all up so I didn’t have to. Really I have no reason to avoid my life, I think I just want it to slowdown so I can actually take a second to breath, look at what I am doing and realize that I actually like my life. In all truthfulness, I LIKE picking up dog poop….b/c it means that I have pets that I love, it means that I own grass where it matters if it’s clean enough to run/lay in, it means I own a house that I care enough about, it means a lot of things….this, like so many things in life is somthng where you need to sometimes take a second to look deeper than just the shit on the surface, b/c underneath it all is meaning and it’s usually pretty damn good. So take a second, look deeper and find meaning in your shit….I promise it will be worth it. If it’s not, I think that is a valuable discovery as well. **You cannot change the winds but you can redirect the sails**
