I got up this morning and made my husband and myself some homemade waffles. As we were finishing eating them my husband looks to me and says, lets lick our plates clean. I looked up at him and said "excuse me?" He smiled as he told me that we sometimes get so caught up in life that we forget how to live life, how to live in the moment. That we need to free ourselves and our souls every once in a while from this life we call "BEING ADULTS" and just throw in the towel to all these rules and lick our plates clean. I laughed as I asked him if he was serious? He said "YES" as he picked up his plate and started licking the syrup off his plate. He looked at me over the rim of his plate and asked, "are you not going to join me? Come on honey toss away the rule book for just a few moments and lick your plate clean!" I just laughed as I picked up my plate thinking my husband has gone mental. We sat their laughing while we licked our plates clean. I must admit that it was fun, and I did for just a few moments this morning feel like a kid again and it felt GREAT!! Just one more memory I get to share with him, and with our future grand kids. Even though at the time I thought my husband was crazy, I now see what he was saying. We do get so caught up in "LIFE" that we forget how to live life. I use to be this care free girl, that would not have thought twice about licking her plate if someone suggested it, but after having kids and sitting good examples for them, that care free girls spirit's light had diminished into nothingness. That is until this morning, and now I have a smile on my face that cannot be wiped away, and my care free light has been re-lit. "LIFE" is to precious to just let it just pass you by. You've got to grab "LIFE" by the horns and break it's rules sometimes, so as you get older you never forget how to really LIVE, LAUGH, and LOVE with NO REGRETS!! So break some rule of your LIFE today, the rules that you live by to be a good role model (not the rules made by our legal system...lol), and feel like you are really LIVING LIFE!!
