My lizard brain is saying:
Don’t do it! Don’t blow your momentum. . .
- with a silly post
- by swearing
- lots of other crazy, lizardy chatter
Fuck the lizard brain.
Since launching this blog life has been intense. Taking on the 31 Day Build a Better Blog challenge added fuel to the fire already burning and it was getting HOT!
So my guy and I packed a picnic dinner and headed down to the beach with our books.
When things get intense, tough, challenging, it’s easy to forget how good life is.
And it IS good.
Really, really good and I don’t want to forget that while I’m burning the candle at both ends.
So today’s question is simple and profound.
What do you love about your life?
- I love having dinner at the beach.
- I love that this is my blog and I can do whatever I want.
- I love that following my instincts lead to yesterday’s post and it felt so good!
- I love that my 11 year old nephew has been inspired to start his own blog.
Over to you:
What do you love about your life?
Right now, exactly as it is.
Tell me.
Super cool friends with pretty feet, who aren’t afraid to swear and show their toes.
Yay! I’m glad I’m still one of the cool kids after dropping the F-bomb!

My family, my friends, my work, my hoppin’ brain.
Yay for the hoppin’ brain! Thanks for playing Alisha!

Ok, you know I’m partial to the F-bomb. Then, I’m also a fan of philosophical sites like shitmydadsays. (If they bleeped all the bombs – so many varieties- on that site I think there would be 2-4 words left per tweet. Not the same at all. Do you know the site? I’m pretty sure I can recite some of the tweets by heart. Yes I am proud of that.)
So what I love is that we have words that so eloquently express how we feel. 😉
But now I’ve got to go calm the Itas down. Would you look at that. All that effort it must have taken to cover their ears, but they managed.
Hope you and your honey had a picture perfect (it’s ok, even the always have my back Itas are groaning at that) day at the beach!

Oh man…what a day. LB had a field day after I published this post! A few hours and glasses of sangria later it’s all good 😉
Here’s to more days on the beach!

Congratulations on your pretty feet! I love my feet too 🙂
Dude! You just made me blush.

I love the fact I can take a break, take my shirt off and climb the tree out the back, thank the sun for existing and then get straight back to work in my metal shed of a home.
Love the image of you sitting in a tree thanking the sun!

Awesome pedicure! 🙂 I have a confession. I love the F-Bomb! LOL!
I love that you love the F-bomb! And Bernese mountain dogs (want one but our home isn’t big enough!).

I’ve been up for a little over three months too! Isn’t 31DBBB such a crazy crash course? Good luck!
Andrea,
I love that we use the same theme and I love your sense of humour!

My 11-year-old son wants to start a blog too! And I’m excited for him, too! Although I’m thinking I may have to do a little more moderating than I’m used to. I don’t want any weirdos picking on my kid. Anyway, great post and I think you just have to stay true to yourself and post whatever feels right. It’s your blog, after all.
Thanks Michelle! Isn’t it cool to think of these kids starting at such a young age? Anything really is possible and I love that about life!

I love that I took off this week to go on a zoo field trip with my son and he couldn’t stop saying how excited/happy he was that I was there. And how happy he was to have me sit next to him while he ate his lunch when we got back to the school. Sometimes it is that simple.
What a memory you’ve given your son! It mostly IS the simple things that make the difference.

I love my relationship with my 2 children, we love and laugh and they are amazing! I love that I have found something that is mine all mine – my blog. I love that I have a very new feeling of endless possibilities. I love that it is high time to take care of me. 🙂
So great Barb, especially those endless possibilities! If you don’t mind me asking, how do you take care of you?

I love that I finally found sour cherries at the farmer’s market yesterday! We had a tree on the farm when i grew up but have only found them once since my childhood. Am making a pie as we speak! Who will come share it with me?
Now that’s a dangerous question! You might be inundated with visitors wanting some cherry pie 🙂
What else do you love about your life? I love that I can have this conversation with you!

I love snuggling up with my beautiful Siamese cat, Mishka. Especially on a long, rainy day. I also love writing my screenplay, usually with Mishka in my lap. 🙂
What a wonderful image; I can totally see it in my mind’s eye. What are you writing about?
Which one? The one I’m working on or the 10 or so others I have plans to work on. LOL! The one that I’ve started (and nearly completed) is a parody of a parody of a parody. Hopefully, I can get some of my filmmaker friends in New Orleans to shoot it for me when it’s finished. Right now, that’s on hold until the 48 Hour Film Project (next weekend) is over.

I love that i found your blog. I love that you tell the lizard brain to go fuck itself! I love that i will soon be holding a baby boy in my arms. I love that my cats names are Beans and Weiner. I love that I live in the great city of Toronto and am blessed to be able to make art for my life, and inspire others to do the same.
It’s not always this lovey, but today it’s sure lovey! It’s awesome!
Thanks for the post!

I love my house and all its wackiness. I love that it’s not going to be as hot as it has been the last month. And I love that I get to hop on a plane tomorrow to see my grandson and … best part of all … bring him back home with me on Sunday for four day!
And I love your site, too! :o)
Love all the lovin’ in your life Lisa (that’s a lot of L’s)!

I love … living near the beach, watching the sunset, giving my daughter huge mummy cuddles, immersing myself in a great book, shopping, hanging out with the girls, going on holidays and finishing every day all snuggled up with my hubbie – aww
Oh yeah, I love your blog! Only just found it!
Laura,
What a great list of lovin’!

I love that my family are all sitting quietly, doing their own thing, lovingly companionable.
I love that my beef barley stew at dinnertime was pronounced the best ever.
I love that I’m surrounded by smart, wise bloggers who are good writers.
I love that I have a job I love in this economy, and that my bosses and co-workers love me back.
I love that when I have trouble sleeping, my boyfriend offers (so kind of him) to give me a “therapeutic orgasm”. 🙂
Must know more about the “therapeutic orgasm”!
On a side note, my niece and nephew call me Aunty San and I love that!!

I love the fact that I’ve been given a second chance. I don’t have breast cancer.
That’s the absolute best way to fuck the lizard Kathryn! I love that you shared that and we can all love that too.

Hmmmm . . . what do I love about my life right this moment?
I love that my daughters have two friends over for a sleepover this evening and that they are quietly watching a movie in the other room.
I love that most of my readers seem to understand my need to carve out a bit of non-blog time to get real life things done.
I love that the dog lying next to me on the floor has not farted.
I love that my husband helped with the dishes even though it was my turn to clean up.
And I love that I have vanilla ice cream in the freezer.
Oh, and?
I love that you asked me this question.
Kris,
I love that I discovered your blog awhile back.
I love that even though we have very different styles, I usually resonate with what you write.
I love that you are bold and ballsy some days, vulnerable and open other days.
I love that you responded to my email.
