Awesome Week

Okay, so I do admit that this is my first dive into the water of blogging. I decided to use this as a creative outlet and an outlet for my feelings and emotions on whatever. I don't really expect people to be to excited about a day in my life.... I mean I'm not an athlete, a super chef, a scientist, or a rock star........but it is a way for me to express myself and be totally narcissistic. LOL This is more my reaction to my world! I believe that happiness in life comes from what we do with what we have - not what we actually have. So, this past week was amazing for me. My rock star heroes (The Moody Blues) were starting their summer tour in my little city. Now, I have been to many concerts but this was different. First, let me make this clear: I AM NOT a stalker, a crazy, or a luni - most of my life is spent working about 50 hours a week at a profession I love and taking care of my family and my home. But, this week, aahh this week was like being a girl again.
I heard the band and crew were arriving about 3 days early. In my town, there is basically one place where they would stay and only a few cafes/restaurants where they would eat. In a big city this would not be possible! So, Wednesday morning started out with me going to a local popular cafe where I knew they would go and "hanging out" a bit. I stood in line to order coffee and a bagel and the guy next to me is ordering from someone else and I thought to myself--yep, he is with the band! I figured he was crew (told I wasn't a stalker) I mean British accent and all. I did not realize until earlier today, through reading his ongoing blog of the tour that he is a major band member!! I can't believe I didn't realize it. Later in the day, I got a call from a few women who arrived into town. We are (were) acquainted through a Moody Blues chat line. I hopped in my car to go meet them. They were AWESOME. We talked and laughed as if we had know each other forever. The next day, day of the concert - I re met up with them and two other women, and they were awesome!! Instant connections. We spent a good part of the day together, even walking along the river walk and accidently meeting up and conversing with John Lodge We all talked about the river, the world cup, etc. I thought to myself, this is just another life lesson about looking for answers and they are in your own backyard. Okay, I admit - that is a little deep but I told you this would be about my thoughts and feelings, right? :) The concert was great, I got to meet more people and eat more food. After I got home that night, it was hard to sleep - the whole last 36 hours rambled through my mind as I tried to sleep. Experiences like this usually fuel my senses in some small way and help me move to the next step in my life. I guess that is why I decided to blog and "get connected" online. Back to work tomorrow, oh by the way - I have decided for sure to lose that 15 pounds that I have been trying to lose for 3 years!! That goal starts right now, as soon as I hit the "publish" button... wish me luck :)
