Feeling Somewhat Rejuvenated

My husband cleaned up the hard drive this weekend and the old PC is doing it's job again.  I went to Dallas with my daughter for a dance convention and got to spend time with several of my favorite moms.  I'm feeling somewhat rejuvenated, too.  Travel always makes me feel better, even if it's only a few days and somewhere close by.  I'm going to New Orleans next weekend to visit my son.  Two of my girlfriends are going with me and we've managed to borrow a relatives apartment in the French Quarter, so I'm really looking forward to that, too.  My brother also lives in New Orleans and we always have a great time!  There will be lots of laughter (my favorite sound), good food and cocktails, music and memories made.

There was a comment from Merri, in my last post, asking me "if I found it harder or easier to make long term plans as we get older?"  I had to stop and think about it.  I realized that I don't really want to make any long term plans.  I want to live my life in the present moment and more spontaneously.  I've really been focusing so much on what I want to do that I haven't been able to fully enjoy who I am.  Like Benjamin Button, I feel like I do get younger as time passes.  At least in the sense that I feel full of wonder, open to new experiences and less judgemental of myself, and certainly of others.  I think it's important that I follow my whims and see where they take me.  Have any of you followed a whim that led to a wonderful adventure?
