Today is posting number 600!  When I set out on this journey nearly three years ago to create this blog, I committed to myself that I would write 500 postings.   After posting number 500, I decided to continue onward.  Now, I’m at 600 and asking myself the same questions as to whether or not I should continue these writings.

Why I am writing these, I really do not know.  My original motivation was to share these messages with anyone who might need or enjoy them, now or in the future.  Time will tell if I continue on to 700, but wherever this all goes, I know one thing for certain.  It’s all in perfect order.

I hope you enjoy these writings and come back and search on various topics to find past writings that might be pertinent to you today!

Are you excited?   Do you have something in your life for which you are excited?   If not, today is the day to find that excitement!

Ω

Many times, we are just “surviving” the day.  Yes, there may be periods of our lives where we feel like we are in survival mode.  Sometimes, that is unavoidable.  However, those periods need to be temporary or your life may become consumed by it.

There are times when we feel like we are not allowed to have excitement.  Maybe there is a loved one who is ill, or there are other serious issues that are currently consuming your life.  The question you need to ask is whether or not it is time to start living again.  We can “pause” our lives for only so long before we need to find a way to continue living.  Give yourself that permission so you can also live a happy fulfilling life.

Sometimes all we need is to introduce a little excitement.  What excites you?  If you had unlimited time, money and resources what would you be doing at this very moment?  Is there a way for you to do that with the time, money and resources that you have?   Maybe you would be lying on a beach in a distant land.  Is it possible to do something similar in your back yard, or at a nearby park?

When we have excitement in our lives, we create energy.  That energy carries us through our days with a “lightness.”  We feel lighter in all areas, including the ones that have a tendency to otherwise, “weight” us down.  When we energize ourselves, we create more excitement.  The two feed each other to bring about an attitude towards life that is contagious to those around us.

Let today be the day you rediscovered excitement.  Find something, be it a good book to read, or a passion that you are uncovering, to bring excitement into your life.  This life is limited and no matter what is going on around you, you still need to live it!

Excitement is energizing.  Reveal your hidden excitements so that you can live your life to the fullest!
