30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 20

Topic: Put Your Music on Shuffle and Write the First 3 Songs That Play and What Your Initial Thought Is

I am not going to go through my actual music on my mp3 player.  It is used for running and I don’t think I have much of a connection to this music. It is for running purposes, so my first thought is usually running. So currently I am listening to our Rdio subscription and have it on the Alt 90s station.  This is a lot of music from my teen years and probably the music that would be post worthy.  I’ve been listening to this station for a few days while my boys are off on a mini early birthday trip. Unfortunately with work, I am not able to go on these things that occur in the middle of the week.  So here I am, and here are the 3 songs that played when I decided to write this post.

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 19

Topic: Five Fears That You Have

1. Fear of losing my parents sooner than later. 
I know this is inevitable. I just want it to be later. I guess we all do. I should consider myself lucky that I do have them both, they are in good health, and they are loving what they are doing.  I have watched my parents go through the loss of their parents.  Some earlier than expected.  I don’t remember from my younger days, but I do remember more as I got older.  I know I will have to embrace what my mother’s mom, my grandmother had said.  I remember it well. “Make sure you are not sad when I die, you make sure you have a big party and celebrate my life.”  It is interesting that this topic comes up just days after saying goodbye to my grandmother 3 years ago.

Topic: A Quote You Try To Live By

“Life Begins at the End of Your Comfort Zone” Neale Donald Walsch

I really didn’t have a quote to live by in previous years, but this one I found recently and it seems to fit my life. I like doing things that are adventurous, and to some people, these things are way outside their comfort zone.

I have gone skydiving, a crazy thing to even consider.  I really should go again sometime soon.

I enjoy back country camping, this means there may or may not be facilities available.  There have been people who comment that they would never go somewhere that doesn’t have flush toilets. I usually respond with “Whatever, it’s something I don’t mind doing”. 

There are so many other things I could discuss, but I figured these are a couple that push that comfort zone a lot.

I might have other quotes in the future, but this one is one that really sticks to me now. I even had a poster printed with this quote on one of my canoeing pictures.  It sits on my desk so that I can look at it every day.
