SCATTERED THOUGHTS #4 Perspective
Was recently standing outside an exercise class waiting to get in (yes, I really was waiting to get in) and I overheard two women speaking about a fellow classmate. The gist of their discussion was how Lady III (lager then a Lady 1 and Lady II) had "let herself go". Well, I instantly started to laugh to myself and got the biggest kick out of what I was thinking (I laugh at my own bubble speak). You see, there is this great song by George Straight called "She Let Herself Go" about a man who left his wife and how she "let herself go" due to his departure. Well when he said goodbye she certainly did let herself go and had a grand old time doing it! Without him in her life she went on a single cruise, Hawaii, a spa, the beach with friends and got knock down pretty.
This song has always reminded me that "letting ourselves go" does not always have to be a negative. I looked at the woman these two anorexic Annie's (as my mom might say) were talking about and I thought that Lady III looked absolutely fabulous. She looked like a healthy, in shape, strong and strikingly gorgeous woman to me. But what do I know?
I myself had not been to the exercise class in awhile due to my schedule being all over the map. So after class I thought I'd catch up with Lady III and say hello. When I asked her what she had been up to she smiled and said , "Having way too much fun, that's it!". Not such a bad answer.
Maybe we should all be like Lady III and "let ourselves go" and have more fun! There are a lot of options out there for finding it - we just have to let ourselves go :)
