What's Your Story?

So I get a Smiley Face sticker for eating good things today! Yeehaw!  But there's a lot more to life than what we eat.  Isn't there?  Because I don't want to look back at my life and remember endless nights (or days) of watching tv or dvd's and eating tasty treats.  I want to look back at my life and say, "Yea, that thing I did was cool.  Those people I met are interesting.  That trip was amazing. I can't believe I managed to do that!"  I want to be able to sit and play piano or guitar or sing because it's fun for me to do. Last summer I went on an incredible adventure with a friend to Europe.  We visited Venice, Italy, then took a cruise on the Mediterranean to several Greek Isles.  Amazing!  But just as amazing were some of the people we met.  One couple travels often, and they save sand from every ocean or sea they've been to.  Cool!  But you don't have to travel the world to have an interesting life.  You just have to lean in to sensation (as they say in yoga). Think about what scares you, and learn about it and lean in to it.  Donald Miller's book, "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" is a fabulous look at how to turn your life into a great story.  Read it.  Do it.
