Surprise....Why Not?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~Mark Twain

Well this weekend I got to fly to surprise my best friend Soul Mate Friend at her baby shower! It was so awesome---she had no idea she was coming (although everyone else in her family did) so it was a total shock when I came in the door! It was such a blessing for me to be able to be at the shower and experience that with her. I was there from the beginning (okay, not THAT beginning....) when she took the pregnancy test, so I didn't want to miss this part either!
One of the things I'm working on for this year (I don't call them resolutions....that's setting yourself up to fail) is to really try to have a "Why not?" attitude. When I heard Soul Mate Friend talk about her baby showers, I decided you know what.....she's my best friend, she's having her first baby.....I think I'll go surprise her! Why not?

It was so worth it---the look on her face was priceless! She was so adorable.....and I had the best time. It's a moment I don't think I'll ever forget! So my year of "Why nots" has started out with a bang!

Think about this type of attitude in your life.....it's fun and pretty freeing!
