Stepping Outside

I have been doing some really fun things with my mom and younger daughter this week as we are celebrating SPRING BREAK ’10. We always have a ton of fun together and people really love to see 3 generations of women having such a great time. We get stopped everywhere we go with someone asking “Are you 3 sisters?” which of course is made in jest, but we all get a good laugh out of it. My mom is without a doubt the coolest grandma and makes every trip just the best time. She knows all the latest hip music and has energy to spare. My mom always goes out of her way to make sure everyone is having fun and people who meet her love her instantly. We have been enjoying several adventures this week and have been daring enough to step outside our comfort zone and have tried new things. Today was Merengue Dancing Lessons! I have to say, my daughter and I were a bit uncomfortable thinking about doing this and maybe even a little embarrassed at first. How could we get up in front of people and DANCE?? Well we took the big leap of faith and plunged right in and you know what? We had so much fun and laughed and laughed and then laughed some more. I think it is good every once in a while to try something new. Give it a shot. Forget about what others think and just DO it. Live your life by adding a little spice to it. Don’t sit on the sidelines watching others experience the joys of taking new chances – grab one for yourself. You just might find you have the time of your life.
