Not heavenly bliss or a 'free ride' thru life, but more not being encumbered by others and yourself too! <BR/><BR/>I smiled to read of your bike ride with your daughter. Now that is 'bliss' and LOVE in ways that nothing else but the joy of your two sharing that activity could bring. I would say you were 'free' then too :)<BR/><BR/>I would also say this is a positive emotional experience to savor. Too often the thought of us having to 'process' emotions focuses on negative ones. Its easy to forget that positive emotions are way too quickly over with.<BR/><BR/>ehugs, KatchaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35402178.post-15801784774323560552007-07-09T19:14:00.000-04:002007-07-09T19:14:00.000-04:00I like that Andrea.........live in the here and no...I like that Andrea.........live in the here and now. I am doing less of 'when I am .........I will........' and hadn't realized it until I read your post. It's so true, Now is the only real thing we have, and the only thing we have control over. <BR/><BR/>I hadn't had a hobby apart from reading before I had kids. After my second son was born, I discovered scrapbooking and I haven't looked back since. I love the 'therapy' of creating something while it appeals the practical side of me as I am creating a living pictorial journal for my family. I take time out every Friday night to go to a crop and enjoy several hours with my girlfriends. Therapy on more than one level!Jenny Schimakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501918262312763589noreply@blogger.com
