Living again....

When I was diagnosed with cancer my husband and I decided to live life to the fullest. We took our kids to Hawaii twice, Disneyland, helicopter rides, snorkeling everything that you would normally have on a bucket list. We were scolded by family for going hog wild! But, we didn't know what the future held for us so we ran with it.  Fast forward 6 years and cancer free I find myself second guessing vacations, or expensive adventures. Why do we do this? Why so we stop living when things are quiet? We never know what fate has in store for us so why do we stop fulfilling our dreams? Isn't that what life is all about? LIVING? 

Summer vacation is coming up. The kids will be out of school and the warm days  will be upon us. As I plan out family's vacations and trips I narrow it down to cost. No we can't go there, it costs too much..no we can't do that, it is too far...Why are we limiting ourselves? If we were to die tomorrow would we be fulfilled with where we are? 

I want to teach my children to believe  in the possible, live your dreams no matter what feedback people give you. If I believe, truly believe we will be okay and everything will work out for us then it will. Do you believe everything will work out for you? DO you chase your dreams? Or do you let finances, opinions, excuses hold you back? We are taught as children to work and pay our bills, be good, don't make crazy choices. But, what if tomorrow you were told you had limited time to live. Death is knocking.What is on your bucket list?
