A Moment of Fun

I am in a season in life where I work non-stop and hard yet sometimes it feels it doesn’t pay off.

My hectic job that I enjoy, I am finding no more enjoyment in. Maintaining 100% in my Life Science course, but just going through the motions. There is always a chore to be done to run a household, which normally gives me satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment, that I now look at as endless. My girls always need something, because kids do.

I am empty.

Sometimes it takes very little to give a heart a lift.

I have had plans for weeks to go out with friends last night. A winter snow storm threatened everyone to stay in … not a chance! I needed a night out, a moment of fun.

There are three things that I accomplished in my moment of fun:

I have a very thankful heart for fun & fantastic girlfriends!

Last night I had the most fun letting go and looking completely ridiculous dancing with my new friend, Luka. There are therapeutic powers to letting go and embracing a moment of fun! He will never know how much I appreciate his carefree and fun personality. It was permission to dance, twirl, laugh and be completely carefree for hours.

Then, my heart that felt empty started to fill up again ... I have crush. A crush on a boy named Miro who is the most refreshing breath of fresh air I have found in years. Bosnian made, American approved! I smile when I hear from him, but what are these fireworks that go off inside me every time he is in my presence?  He is so incredibly sexy, that accent …magical! Smart, confident, sweet, thoughtful, responsible, kind, funny, witty, masculine … I can go on. I deeply adore him!

Life is tough sometimes and sometimes the heart needs a lift. I am thankful for even just a moment of fun.
