Too Much Fun!

It was just too much fun! Yesterday was the best. And it got me and Connie to thinking. Now that is treading into murky waters at best. We laughed so much we could hardly stand it. So we are going to develop the Connie and Kathy Travelling Road Show. Don't ask me where we're going to go...as a matter of fact, if you do ask us we'll come...but we want to encourage other women to have fun. Enjoy relationships. Take time. And incorporate the four principals of Diva Life into their own lives: Enhancing relationships, incorporating joy, de-stressing and simplifying. All things we really want to do, right?

What woman doesn't want to de-stress? Have more joy? Have a friend (relationship) they can let loose in without being shushed. (As you might well imagine, I get shushed a fair amount...especially by the curmudgeons in my life...) Experience some joy and simplify, simplify, simplify. And laugh plenty along the way.

Wait till you see the pink glasses we got...but I'm saving that for tomorrow...

I think I am coming to somewhat of a crossroads. I am passionate about the Diva principles...joy, relationships, simplifying and de-stressing; so I think that is the path I am going to go down in 2009.

I can't give up the passion for outreach, though, so I am going to explore other options (maybe my church website?) to blog about those thoughts.... whatcha think? Weigh in. I really believe in the power of girlfriends. so I think that is where I am settling in here.

Let me know what you think...

Fun at the Farm

Saturday was one of those beautiful sunny, yet crisp fall days. Perfect for some afternoon fun at the farm. The only thing that could have made it better is if we had done it as a family; Saturday we went with the girl scouts. This was at Ard's farm west of Lewisburg. City kid that I am, I had never gone in a corn maze before. And we only tackled the kiddie one at that. I would be up for wandering (with growing frustration, I am sure...) in the super-sized one. In addition to the corn mazes and zip lines there was a rope swing inside the "fun barn" and other types of maze activities as well as a corn cannon.

Oh, and a huge tunnel slide. This picture was taken from the top of the slide. There were also hay rides to the pumpkin patch, a bluegrass/country band playing and lots of food (which we didn't indulge in).

I must be mellowing in my old age. I really, really enjoyed this. There was a time when I wouldn't have taken the time to hang out and relax, instead preferring to send Nicole with the girl scouts and instead conspire as to how I could spend those couple of hours on me. Curled up under the covers? (Probably not, because I wasn't good at relaxing then, either. Don't laugh, I am getting better...)More likely clean through a couple more boxes, go to the Salvation Army, or just selfishly spend the time on myself.

But see what I would have missed! The sunshine, and not just the Indian Summer sunshine, but the sunshine spread all across Nicole's face. The fun, the joy, the connection. And isn't that what we all really want? And on Saturday, that's exactly what we had.
