Living Life in the Fast Lane

I wrote this blog a few years ago but it bears repeating.

I  lived life in the fast lane for about 46 years. Fast Lane being driving like mad to get to work on time and driving like mad to get back to the day care or home for dinner. Driving my kids to all kinds of activities, making sure I remembered to work my parents in my life, keeeping my husband as the number one person in my life and just skidded, skated and drove around everything else. Fast lane meant balancing the budget, keeping up the house and being the forever concerned Wife, Mother, daughter, Sister and friend.

One of my favorite thoughts was Someday. You Know ‘Someday I am going to travel, make a lot of money, pay off the house, have friends over for a big party, dance all night long.’ My Someday list just goes on and on. Today, I have to make money to pay for the bills of yesterday. Tomorrow, I have to make money to pay for today, but darn it, soon Someday will come! My thoughts on Someday were kind of shot out of the sky on my birthday this year. My 87 year old Mother looked up at me and said, “Happy Birthday. I love you. You better start dancing now”.  Theres a thought. I need to embrace Someday before it gets completely away from me. Kids are all about grown now.

 Motorcycle riding is a sport a lot of people my age have taken up.   My Husband opened a Helmet business a few years ago www.agelessparlor.com and through him I have met some wonderful bikers. They are all enthusiastic about riding. The more I Listened the more I knew this was ”today” list material. It  Hasn’t turned out to be a cheap sport but, beats the heck out of sitting in front of the TV all week-end. Course with Alabama playing ball this fall, I’ll be there too if I am not rallying.

Stay Tuned.
