Yes, it’s a line in a Tom Petty song. It was also framed and
given to me by my sweet friend, Kelly. I have it in my house and look at it
almost every morning if I am not running late.
It got me thinking this morning on my way to work about
things/places/experiences that really make me feel free. There are of course
tons of things that make me happy, comfortable, content but free is a special
one. That feeling when you are taken aback and have your breathe taken away
from the freedom you are feeling in that very moment. You kind of take a look
at life and think, wow. I thought I would make a list of these things so that I
could always go back to them and see what it is that gives me this freedom
feeling.
- Walking along an empty beach.
- Driving on the freeway when there is no traffic and listening to Tom Petty (preferably "Wake up time").
- When I see the sun shining through a bunch of trees.
- Dancing. Anytime, anywhere, any song….well maybe not any song but you get my drift.
- Swimming.
- drinking coffee on a patio looking out at morning fog.
- riding my bike.
- painting.
- writing.
- Taking a bath in the dark with a bunch of candles all around.
- Riding a horse.
It’s comforting to see that
all of the things I listed are for the most part free of monetary cost. I guess that makes sense
why free is in freedom. What makes you feel this way?
