Life is But A Dream - Repost, Relive,Restart

Hola,Hola,Hola Beautifuls! BB is planning a restart porque really 2020 we need it. Sooo, while she's getting the pics y historias together, here is a post from the primero Abril- 2012.
 Still as true hoy as it was then. Maybe even mas.





Row, row, row your boat- gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.


Wow- how deep is that? Almost scary the simplicity and how "in your face" that is.


¿Que creen?  What says you? Should we go gently but with a smile on our face?  No se, I'm Cuban- the smile esta bien, pero the "gently"?  Ok, Si,  I hear you.  "Pero BB dear, you're getting older you should start doing gentle." JU SO FONII!!!  Slower mayyyybbeeee pero gentle?  So sorry, can't do it.  It's not in my constitution, not in my soul.

Perhaps it was all the sofrito, but I need a bit of "oomph" in life, a bit of spice.  I need the passion, the energy- everything felt and done with every atom of my being and down to my very essence.  There is no gentleness there, for even in a tender caress the intensity of my beliefs come through, and though "this ol' gray mare ain't what she used to be", she can still give a pretty good kick!

 "Life is but a dream"?  No, no, no- it's not how most interpret that.  Life is not something that happens to us while we're in a dreamlike trance.  Bueno, if you think about it, maybe that's why it's usually interpreted that way- because most people are living lives that were pre-programmed by someone else.  Por fa gente, MAKE your life YOUR dream.  Set your own sights, chart your way, and since you picked the destination, don't fight the voyage.  Si, in this way you truly can go merrily down the stream.


BB is living her dream merrily, still with gusto, focus and style.  Perhaps the pace has slowed and the baile is now a waltz, but the choice of song is always mine.

P.S. The video is from YouTube titled "Viennesse Waltz".  A waltz performed by the SUU Ballroom Dance company during their 04 Spring concert  Music by Goo Goo Dolls, song title Iris, posted by willowbrook32. BB thanks them all for the brilliance and beauty of this piece.

Breathe & Believe- Day 3 of the SMCSF 30 Day Blog Challenge

It's Wednesday.  You've lived through Monday, Tuesdays gone, and the promise of the weekend is closer but still out of your reach.  All together now- BREATHE.  You're always running around trying to be all things to all people. Who makes up these crazy schedules and what are you trying to prove?  All together now- BREATHE.  Schedules are crazy because you've said no to yourself too many times and yes to others instead. Time to switch that. You have nothing you need to prove.  All together now- BREATHE.

You are here for a reason and it's not to be in constant perpetual motion. You don't have to be in charge and know where you're going.  The world will continue to turn and the days will continue to pass and the seasons will continue to change whether you scheduled 20 things in a day or none. So try none for awhile.  Enjoy the moment.  Here's a novel thought.  Let's all slow down to succeed. Quee?? JU SO FONII!!! I know it's not easy- BB's still running and recovering from her trios puberty ::shudder::.  But let's try it shall we? All together now- BREATHE.


Life is not to be studied, lead or solved; it's to be lived. 
And you can't live if you don't BREATHE.

And it's not worth living if you don't BELIEVE.


BREATHE & BELIEVE


There's always magic with BB
