I’m not a huge fan of many things. I mean I do like a lot of things but I’m not RABID about much of anything in particular.
I like sports, but don’t ask me players names and stats, be happy if I know who’s playing. and rest assure I will pay attention to the game (especially if it’s a hockey fight) and I will yell at the screen for bad plays and calls.
I love music and writing, these are the two outlets that I have always pursued, but I have been known to go days and weeks without playing a lick, or writing a paragraph. Doesn’t mean I don’t love the hell out of them, just means that I don’t Jones over them.
I love working out. Staying in as good of shape as I can, has become very important to me. As I move head first into my fifties, I know I have to stay even more active then before, but if I miss a gym day or two I don’t fret it any.
There are however, three things in my life that I am totally fanatical about.
The first is breathing. I am a really really super huge fan of breathing. I start my day with breathing like some people start with a cup of coffee {don’t bother me until I have taken my first breath} Breathing is a big part of my day, if I don’t get a chance to breath I have a tendency to be a little cranky. Not to mention the fact that there is a big chance of me passing out
The second thing I’m fanatical about are my kids. Four of the most wonderfully insane creatures the universe has graced my life with. Two are mine, and the other two I love as though they were mine. The universe made sure that all four of them are as cute as can be. I think that is because there is less of a chance of me shooting any of them that way. yes like all kids they are pretty good at pushing the right buttons at the right times, but all in all I am proud of the people they are becoming.
The third thing in my life that I am fanatical about is my moon. I’m not talking about the large ball in the night sky, but instead the one that has graced the shadows of my life. The one that has helped this wolf start out on this new journey. There is nothing I can’t do when she is here with me. The strength and confidence she gives to me can never be repaid. The light that she shines to keep me upon the path I need to be on protects me, as well as keeps me war.
Its never enough to realize, in this life, what it is we like, or even what we might love. Its about placing those things that mean most to us in the forefront of our lives. To make sure that they are given the attention needed. If they help to brighten your life then by all means brighten theirs right back. Because in the end there really a few things that are worth being fanatical over.
