Bored.

Sitting here today, I realized, I am bored. Bored to tears over everyday mundane life details. I should be a happy as a clam. I built up to a life others wouldn't mind having, but selfish me...I'm bored! I am ready for some kind of bigger change, or closure to other details, ready for the constant drip that keeps falling out of the sky to stop.  Three different golf lessons have now been canceled, depressing. Maybe it's just the day, or the week, or leftover uncomfortableness from the weekend. All I know is I am bored. Uncomfortable about recent decisions I've made, and where on earth that is going to take me. Ugh, meh, with a side of blurg. Highlight of my week so far...watching Back to the Future 1,2 & 3 repeatedly. If only I could go back to the past. HA! Yoga and gym tonight, flexible and in shape before you know it. Alas, at least it's May and almost summer.

My new favorite passion.

On Friday, I took half a day off from work and treated myself to my first round of golf on the course. I have been taking lessons now for just over a couple months, five in total so far, mostly working on my swing and stance. I bought my first set of clubs in July, and went to the driving range like a fiend for most of the summer. There is just something about smacking the hell out of those little balls that makes me feel better. I had not had the nerve to go and play 18 or even 9 holes, as it intimated me to think I would not do well. I moved beyond that though, and came to the realization... I enjoy this, and of course I am going to suck at it the first few times! I am in no way a natural athlete, that skip my dominant genes, but lots of practice has shown me that I, maybe one day can be decent. This is promising. One of the side favorites to all of this, is the cute outfits, to get to drive around the golf carts, and drink--that alone is a fun afternoon!  I made it through all 18 holes with a coworker, and finished with the same ball I started with. This was progress and I enjoyed myself so very much. A new passion turned into a possible love, who would have thought! Some of the new gear helps support breast cancer awareness, even better cause!

Clubs & the cart. I didn't even wreck it!

Hole 18! I made it!

And, I learned about the 19th hole. I like it the best!

Laughing so hard it hurts.

"A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life."

 

There is nothing better in life than the love of friends who would cheer you up amidst the challenging day that now lay behind us. Tomorrow a new day and more life to live and enjoy. I will deal will it as it comes, as always. Best news of the day...It's statical fact only 4 out of 5 are nothing more than a mass. That is good. That is better odds. I can deal with that. True friends do the silliness right along with you. Blessed, no. Thankful, by choice. Grateful by experience. 

 

No bullshit here! Plenty of love, humor and amazing support. 

 

Oh, of course the vodka, pizza, and bread-sticks helped too!

 

“Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough" Laugh until it hurts, until you are crying and it comes out your nose!
