Lately, I have been feeling..not unhappy so much as unfulfilled. I have an amazing husband and son but just something missing. The older I get, the more self-conscious I am and I know that because of this, I am screwing myself out of opportunities to grow as a person! Opportunities to allow me to break out of my comfort zone and experience some extreme feelings!!! Okay, maybe unfulfilled is the wrong word too. I love a good challenge and I don't feel challenged or inspired. Just like Julia Roberts said in the movie Eat Pray Love...I want to marvel at something. I want my son and husband to marvel at something and I want to share with them the world outside of my small town.

We could take care of some of those bucket list items...girls' weekend getaway, watch the scariest movie, run a race (they are doing a Color Me Rad race out here in August...google it) and maybe a couple of others.
ReplyDeleteAnd for experiencing a waterfall...Iceland is the place to go!!
