On this particular Wednesday, I have another case of the “WHAT IF’S”. I happen to love the what ifs. They’re what make me tick. Think. And focus.
Enjoy….
What if life is about…
doing less of the busy and more of the worthy.
taking more rest days.
giving it your all on days you do work out, leaving it all on the gym floor.
geeking out to Princess Bride and Star Wars.
going on dates with your husband.
going on dates with your children.
eating intuitively and not on some regimented diet plan.
listening to your parents.
finding something worth fighting for.
singing really loud to songs you don’t know the words to.
making time for God.
talking to yourself with a British accent.
talking to others in a British accent.
coming to terms with the fact that you can’t sew. Or bake. Or stop talking to yourself.
smiling because you’ve grown up enough to realize that you actually have NO desire to learn how to sew.
great sex.
listening before speaking. Then speaking with kindness.
being thankful for every.single.thing that you’ve been given.
eating most meals with your “special spoon.”
simplicity.
enjoying the artistry of a well composed blog post.
LOVE.
QUESTION: Your turn. Life is about….? WHAT IF…..??

STUFT Mama says:
LOVE THIS POST!!!!!!! Life is about enjoying every single moment with loved ones that we’re given. :) Laughing, loving, crying, praying……..
Katie says:
What if life is just about…LOVE. Loving your spouse, loving your family, loving and giving back to humankind, loving OURSELVES…what if that is ALL its about at the end of the day? :) Nothing else matters but being good to ourselves and each other and having faith.
Lindsay says:
Life is about making the most of the only 24 hours you’re given each day.
She Rocks Fitness says:
Life is about…smiling, laughing so hard you almost pee your pants, listening to your Mom even though you don’t want to, taking chances big and small, opening your heart! XOXO
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says:
Love that you through in simplicity. Life does not have to be so complicated and busy, we stress over making everything just right. I can easily fill my day with stuff that doesn’t really matter, thanks for the reminder to trim that extra out!
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says:
I’m pretty sure no one was able to focus after you dropped great sex in there. But then I was all, “What if there was such a thing? What if I had some? What does she MEAN?!?!” ;)
Also, the whole sewing thing…what if I actually finished the curtain making project I got so excited about TWO WEEKS ago?
And I eat from the same bowl every night. I give death stares to my roommate if her hand even goes near it. Same with my special mug. And the special spoon I use for oatmeal. And the one for my yogurt bowls. And the one for reaching into the peanut butter jar. [If you think that’s all the ‘special’ items in my kitchen…well, you missed the eruption over the oatmeal pan. And the granola pan. And the… :)]

you WILL have good sex! I just know it! ;)
Jess says:
hehe love the sex part ;-)
And ALL of this post, really.
What if…we all stopped thinking so much and started DOING more. Leaping without looking. Life might be very different, hmm?
Christin@christinjoyful says:
I have a special glass from my parents…they live in Japan as missionaries, and I only see them once per year. It’s a great reminder of my parents and to pray for them.
Thank you for this post…you always seem to have a way of stirring up reflections and emotions and spiritual truths. Blessings,
Christin
Annette@FitnessPerks says:
Love this! All of it ;)
Meghan @ After the Ivy League says:
Will this matter in the long run is great advice to keep in mind. It’s so easy to get worked up over little, minor details and the truth is, a month from now you won’t even remember it happening. It truly isn’t important!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says:
:great sex” <— I heart you.
Kristina says:
this is beautiful Beautiful BEAUTIFUL! just like you.
Sharla says:
My mom has had a “special fork” my entire life. If someone else accidentally gets it she takes it away and washes it. Kind of awkward when we have company.
Carly @ Snack Therapy says:
“Listening to your parents.” Yes. You hit a point in life where you suddenly realize that just about every single thing they’ve ever said is right. Even worse, you hit a point where you start saying things that sound exactly like your mother. I scare myself sometimes. In the best way possible though, ’cause my mom rocks.
Sara @ fitcupcaker says:
I love this post…Life is about…being thankful for the small things that we take for granted (health, being able to walk and talk and see) etc. Thanks for making me think about this :)
Natalie @ Free Range Human says:
Coming to your blog is my favorite part of the morning!
What if life had absolutely nothing to do with the number on the scale?
Steph @fitmomtraining says:
Love it! Thank you for the reminder!
Katie says:
This is just what I needed to read this morning! I love how you juggle your life with such intent…very inspiring!
Danielle says:
I love this! So true!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says:
Life is definitely about enjoying the right here and right now for me. I have to stop thinking (worrying) about the distance and really focus on what’s happening right now. Time is precious and there is no way to really plan far in advance. There are too many outside factors, but if I take the time to focus on now (with me and my boys) then I will be better for it in the future.
lindsay says:
i’m thinking sex is on the list today? ;-) my husband will like this.
Miz says:
it is the final photo for me.
WILL THIS MATTER 10 minutes 10 days or 10 years from now?
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says:
Life is about learning, living, loving and growing.
Beautiful post, Lindsay! :)
