TGIF

It's amazing how often I've heard "Thank God It's Friday" today. I even heard it yesterday - "Well, thank God tomorrow's Friday".

How said that the greatest thing people look forward to in their week is the final day of working. There's so much more to life than that.

I remember when I used to work a job, it's exactly how I was: complaining all week and looking forward to the weekend so I could at least do something that I wanted to do. Usually I didn't though because I was too tired and/or too broke.

So, what is Friday like for me know?

Well, yesterday John and I spontaneously decided we were going to go to Colorado to snowboard so we got on a plane and landed in Denver. We called a few of our friends who live in Castle Rock and went on over to their place after stopping at the Lamborghini dealership and the mall to do some shopping. They called a few more of our friends and within a few hours we had a party going. It was so much fun hanging out with our friends, celebrating life, prosperity and freedom.

We hung out all night in their million dollar home and spent the night. We woke up around 8:30am, took a shower, got dressed and mosied on down for breakfast. While most people were cursing the car in front of them during their commute, we were hanging out in our pj's drinking coffee and laughing at life. Our friends made us an awesome breakfast and we spent the next hour chatting and giggling, just having fun. We're both self-employed and living an amazing lifestyle so there was no rush, just time to be connected and enjoy ourselves.

We put together a toy I had brought for their son Wyatt - a Toy Story Bubble Maker, amused ourselves with bubbles and rumbled with laughter as their 5 month old lab Aunt B tackled the bubbles. I also made a reservation so we'd have a place to stay - where to go???? Breck, Vail, Copper, Beaver Creek - so many possibilities. We finally settled on Beaver Creek, we've never been so wanted to add a little adventure to our day.

We then loaded up in their Escalade to visit with Buffalo and watch the prairie dogs play on a local preserve. I love prairie dogs - their one of my favorite animals so to sit and watch them play for awhile on a Friday morning was a wonderful treat.

Around noon we said our good-byes and John and I headed West towards the mountains. We enjoyed an incredible ride, it was bright and sunny today - a beautiful day and I was feeling so grateful we were enjoying it together. After all, if we had settled in our lives, if we had never taken the risks, moved forward - if we had played it safe, we'd both be miserable at separate jobs saying "TGIF".

I was saying TGIF today- Thank God It's Friday, it's beautiful and I'm doing everything I WANT TO DO. I'm on an adventure, living free and prosperously, experiencing my wonderful spouse - watching him smile and laugh; relaxed and confident living in the moment. It's awesome.

So, we decided to go off the main road and divert over to Breckenridge to visit of our favorite places. On the way I made a phone call and helped an excited gentleman get started in my business - $1000.00 in my pocket for 3 minutes of work. Not bad. This is what life is all about - having abundance, experiencing abundance and helping others do the same. I don't have to sit in a cubicle or at a desk, I can be whereever I want and live every moment to the fullest. There's no either/or in my life.

We explored Breck, rode passed a house we are considering buying and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon. We wandered into a snowboard shop and wouldn't you know it, they had the exact board John's been looking at for awhile - in his size. So we got it - Burton Vapor with C-60 bindings. AWESOME RIDE! We stopped in Frisco, bought some more gear and travelled onward to Beaver Creek.

All I can say is it's spectacular here - so abundant and prosperous. The resort we're at - The Pines Lodge is awesome - like a quaint Swiss Chalet, cozy and wonderful! We enjoyed a fantastic dinner in the restuarant and just came back to our room.

So, in closing TGIF. TGIMonday and Tuesday and Wednesday, etc. etc. Everyday is a precious gift; time is so fleeting. So, When it comes to Friday, remember: Friday can either be the day you look forward to because you're eager to break away from the stiffling bondage you feel working a job that is disatisfying and supressing, or it can be a day filled with spontaneous adventure, fun and freedom - a day spent doing what you want to do with who you want to be with. It's simply a choice.

We're hitting the slopes tomorrow for a few days on the mountain. When are we returning? We haven't decided yet....now that's freedom!
