A better good!

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. - e.m. forster

After participating in the Walk for a Cure today, for Alzheimer's, I found myself underwhelmed by my recent involvement with such wonderful organizations. Especially those that I believe so wholeheartedly in! I will be... No, have to, make a point to seek those types of activities out! Day to day life can be one so mundane and repetitive (especially with kids, if you let it!) that we all sit back and watch those folks that actually make a point to participate, as opposed to just signing up. It cost nothing today! Not all of them are free, but I sure as hell would give up a night out for dinner to be able to feel as good as I felt leaving today's event!

Not only do I love the way that I felt leaving the park today (minus the 10 minute uphill part of the trek pushing 50lbs, when I thought I was going to pass out...), but I want to make sure that my Callie and Cole are aware of their ability to contribute to a greater good by just getting involved. I don't remember being exposed to those type of events as a kid, and I want to make sure that I do that for them!!

I can't wait to get back out there, with them! I love them feeling of knowing that I am participating in something greater than me!!

the art of travel...

So, on a recommendation, I watched The Art of Travel (http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=the+art+of+travel) last night and I am ready to strap a baby to the front of me and one to the back of me and head to Central/South America!  Panama, Columbia, Peru... especially Peru to see Machu Pichu, and Bolivia!  I want to travel so bad!!  I want, want, want to travel!!!!  So, now I have to buy 2 tickets (one for me and one baby, and another for the second baby), but damnit, I will be one pissed off Momma if by the time I'm done in this life if I've never travelled where I want to go!  Soooooooo, time to apply for my passport!  And, a a savings account is started!  First, Costa REEKA (Rica, for those who don't get it!), but that trip will hopefully be sans bambinos!!

That's all.  I just want to travel!  So I have babies...  They're going to be world travelled babies!  (Check back with me in a year to make sure I wasn't telling stories here!! :D)
