(Don't) Stay Within the Lines

Have you ever been told to stay within the lines?
That things are done... 
...a certain way.
How does that taste to you?
It doesn't go down well for some of us.
We like a little variety and FUN.
We prefer to live happy.
We like to smell the flowers.
(Or in my case, my friends' fur on Mom's leg.)
Going where you feel you've been sent
doesn't mean you have to stay there.
Quit hiding your potential. Get out of bed! Seek out joy!
There's a sense of insanity if you are feeling trapped
when freedom is actually available. 
 
Life is such a short ride. 
Don't waste it.
Strut your fabulous self.
Wear your beliefs loud and proud.
 Feast upon this colorful and fancy buffet-filled life.
Invite some friends over. Put on a favorite outfit.
 
Serve some tasty treats.
And celebrate your friendships.
Do. Not. Sit. Around. With. A. Bone. To. Pick.
 
Otherwise you'll just fall apart. 
Get rid of the toxic garbage. You don't need it!
Find the beauty among any fortresses.
Cherish every day and learn from your experiences. 
 Trust me, you'll sleep better.
Try to be of service.
Keep a smile on your face. 
And do the same tomorrow.

PAWS and think about what you can delete 
from your life to increase your joy.
Do it!
