Feeling... Sentimental and Beachy....

This weekend I had the opportunity to speak with a distant cousin’s wife.  I am trying to find out more information about my Pye family members, who back in the early 1900’s originated in Beaumont, Texas.  You know, with DS graduating from High School and starting college, plus Dad being home from Italy for good (another reminder to self to remove “Visit Dad in Italy” off my list), I guess I’m getting sentimental.  That and for some reason I have always felt like an old soul. 

I’m 38 years old.  My Grandpa Gil died when he was 49, his Dad died when he was in his late 20’s (best I can tell).  My great Grandfather died when he was 63.  I can’t imagine being halfway through my life, there’s so much I want to accomplish!  That said, some of my best memories and times in life is when I have taken the time to just breathe…. 


Sometimes I have to remind myself that it is important to stop or slow down.  This song that Kenny Chesney did made me a Kenny fan for life.  You see, my spirit is truly at rest and peace when I’m at the ocean.  There are NO words to describe the experience, slowing down, listening to the waves.  When life gets hectic, I put this CD in…  All songs have the island feel, to remind me…  Life is short.  And just like that, I’m at the beach…  Thanks Kenny.  Maybe someday I will be Sherry, living in paradise…  Until then, I guess it’s back to Bucket List Living.  And remaining on my list, Hang out with Kenny Chesney on a boat in the Caribbean.  We aren't promised a tomorrow - Dream big!

Why -Bucket List Living NOW?

This is the short answer -

Several years ago my sister and I went sky diving. A day later I visited my FIL who was fighting cancer at the time and I told him what I had just done, his reply - "I always wanted to do that and now I never will get to." Why do we wait until the end of our lives to start living our dreams? And doing the things we want to do? I'm done waiting on something else to happen before I choose ME - I'm bucket list living NOW!



Please join my adventure! If you wait, you WON'T!
