 I posted this today on my blog, S.O.S.  Since it's about Growing Bolder I thought I'd repeat it here.

I have had a wonderful, fun week celebrating my 67^th birthday.  I asked everyone I know to release a balloon sometime to help me celebrate my new year, an out with 66, in with 67 celebration. Yesterday I found a wonderful big yellow daisy Mylar balloon at the Dollar Tree store.  My nickname is Daisy, wasn’t that just perfect? The sky was so blue with large, white puffy clouds when I let it go in our front yard.  We watched the yellow balloon for the longest time, which made me feel like this is my year to soar.

 

I recently discovered Growing Bolder, and as they say, “It’s About Attitude.”  A very quiet, yet positive change of my attitude is taking place.  For one thing, I don’t feel as old as I did, nor do I think I can’t do something interesting.   Now I am not going take up sky diving, swim across a Florida lake, or dance in the Follies. 

 

No, what I am going to do is enjoy every minute, with the expectations there is more right around the corner.  I have health issues that keep me from doing what I used to do, but so do thousands of others.  I found myself thinking too much about being sick, and guess what? I got sicker.  For a several days now, I have been watching funny videos or listening to audio interviews on Growing Bolder and YouTube before going to bed.  I think I am even dreaming happier.

 

I am not sure why I’ve been in the blue zone the last few month since I’m usually am not. I am relieved to be on a different, more contented place.  Won’t you come along with me?
