Just Do It!
No, I’m not talking about exercise, or following your dreams or anything as big as that. I’m talking about finding the time to socialize. For me, there’s always something going on, always a reason why I can’t make time to see my friends. These past few weeks however, “Just Do It” has been my motto. I sent out an Evite to some friends for a “girl’s tea” at my place today. I knew it would be a bad time for all of them (weekday morning), but it was good for me, so I just did it. I needed a treat after our big school meeting yesterday (big assessment for man cub that only happens every three years.) I wanted to relax, sip tea and nibble scones with whoever could make it. Lucky for me, two of my girls can! I also really wanted to see one of my good friends this week. Have a little girl time. She has two little girls, works full time and has a life bursting at the seams. Still, we managed to squeeze in some mid-week evening time at her place. We both “Just Did It.” Or as we may say in our house (because we like to be silly), “I Doos It!” There is never a good time to get together with your friends, to make a call, to meet up with someone for an hour. You just have to see a crack of opportunity and “Do It.” It’s a great way to refill your tank after a long break without “adult time.” 5 comments from 4 users

That's great advice! We tend to make excuses: "Oh, I don't have time" or "It's too hard to squeeze everything in" but if we simply stop considering what we want and going after it, we'll be happier.Good for you! :) posted by

I just did it yesterday! My sister invited my daughter over for a sleepover......and I said, "hey I wanna come over and have a sleepover too!" As sisters, and friends we're always doing stuff for our kids and love that, but every now and then it's fun to just have girl time, a sleepover was a fun change! Kids played and we chatted and connected all night, in our jammies of course! posted by

YAY! That sleepover sounds really fun! Good for you! I agree Hillary. Turn those voices off and just be impulsive about being social. posted by

Yeah...I miss college when socializing was a spontaneous activity. Now...well, everything is just so dang planned out. Want to get together in six weeks to get caught up?? Sigh.... posted by

LOL! I know what you mean. What the heck is this "spontaneous" you talk of?
