It is so ...Wow, what a great passage to highlight. It is so true that we tend to limit ourselves because we are worried about what other people will think. Since I've gotten older I care less and less what others think (in a good way). I would raise my hand and say I can sing and dance and paint...well maybe not paint!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739982274914536036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-28687674986015352592010-06-05T07:28:36.274-05:002010-06-05T07:28:36.274-05:00What a fabulous idea!

When I look at myself, I wonder what happened? Why am I more selective about what I want to raise my hands for? Why am I being so anal by looking at all pros, cons, and is-it-necessary's? Why can't I jump into it and figure the mechanics later? Why can't I be less sentimental and just enjoy life? When I see people like that, who don't know a thing about drawing, but will still take that pen and doodle, I don't look at the picture at go - What a lame attempt. Instead, I look at the person at wonder - what an admirable enthusiasm!<br /><br />It is quite sad how we lose our innocence between 5 and 18. We don't need to be bouncing on our soles. We can just be more enthusiastic in life.<br /><br />Good meme!

YOu have turned your disappointment in the cancellation of your travels to something very positive. I love this mission of yours. While I may not post about it, just because I'm going to be on the run most of the summmer, but I will most certainly meditate on it.
