Living Loudly

Vivre pleinement chaque instant...a French saying for live out loud (or live to the fullest every second). This saying makes me think of people who do this and do it with zest: MK, LLC, AR, DocMI, my brother. I admire them because they are passionate, excited, and expressive people.

I guess I have to admit that I also admire some of this in myself. I have a lot of energy, I am passionate, focused, fiery, and willing to show my emotions. I go after things with my whole heart. I am willing to talk about my experiences- good and bad and really experience them.

I like being centered enough to know how I am feeling- and being confident to say something about it. I like that I know how to be myself in most situations and that I can leave it up to other people to decide whether they like who I am or not.

Last night husband said to me as we were getting ready for bed, and I as usual, was living loudly, "I hope you are goofy and willing to show it till death do us part."

It is wonderful being loved for who you are.
