On my recent visit to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, my town of origin, I went to the Nomad on Brady Street which is a popular bar where my good friend actually met her husband. In Milwaukee the chances are pretty good that you will meet your future spouse at a bar. If it weren't for Wolski's I would not have met my sweetie of 17 years! Anyway.......I received some very wise words at the Nomad written in pen on my drink coaster. These words of wisdom have come to be one of my new mantras. Here it is folks...........
"HOW FUN WOULD THIS BE.... IF YOU WERE MORE FUN?"
Brilliant! That was a perfect mantra for me to take on as I started my week of visiting countless relatives and friends. Of course I love seeing everyone, however, it requires stamina and performance that can overwhelm me before I even get there. So on this visit, I took responsibility for my own fun and I found that I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm to go around.
So the next time you are feeling overwhelmed ask yourself - how fun would this be if you were more fun?
Here is my sister Sarah, my grandma and me. My grandma is 89 and she knows how to have fun! She's quite the pool shark!
