Now, this is, of course, relative... I am not switching to working on curing cancer or volunteering for the front lines... But I am trying new thing and putting myself out there more. ( Studio, Fashion Show, stuff like that....)
One of the most surprising, slightly oddball, but genuinely fun things I have done is I bought myself a high quality, adult size hulahoop and started learning to Hoop Dance and a few tricks.
Of all the ways to spend your life... I have to recommend fun. Have as much as you can. Play harder.
and just Quit Worrying about showing that soft white underbelly... Life is short and no one cares about it but you.
xxoo,
Betty
Happy Birthday to a fun, talented, beautiful role model. Keep *hooping* it up!
ReplyDeleteThe Dalai Llama himself says the goal of life is happiness. The world needs all the happiness it can get. give blessings. Be happy!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Hoop dancing looks fun.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! Keep having fun!
ReplyDeleteYou are so fun! I love this post, and I'm glad you're hooping :)
ReplyDeleteGo you!!!! I have fallen' head over Latin heels for Zumba!!!
ReplyDeleteThey have just offered a hoop dance class at my gym ....perhaps I should give it a try!
Adorable you! Happiest of birthdays... and thank you for the reminder. Today is not a fun day for me... no way around it... but that doesn't mean tomorrow can't have promise, eh?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! And I LOVE this post! I am a worrier...about everything and it really cuts into my fun so I'm working on not worrying so much. ;)
ReplyDeleteHubba hubba hooper! Go ahead, Miss Thing!
ReplyDeleteYou rock the world!
Nice post! I've got about 10 years on you, and I'm finding that in Phase II I have to face this ALL OVER AGAIN (dammit). But I am now inspired to find some hula hoop classes up here. It was one of my fave things as a kid.
ReplyDeleteLove the post! I think it's great! I turned 50 this yer myself. A while back I bought a hula-hoop at the dollar store...but being what it is, doesn't really work for me. Where'd you find an adult one? I too wanted to start hula-hooping again. I thought I was the only one....so glad i am in good company. Keep it up!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!

I'm not the author of this great line, but I came across it one day on the web and do my best to live by it:
