Reenie's Ramblings

I was watching a movie recently and there was a scene that made me laugh out loud. A complete fit of the giggles. It struck my funny bone in such a huge way I couldn't contain it. One of the people I was with, leaned forward and said "shh! You're laughing really loud!". First of all, I was not the only person in the room laughing. Second of all.... DON'T SHUSH ME! When I get excited, my voice gets loud. I have tried for years to "censor" myself in this... WHY?!  Because many have "shushed" me in the past. Here's the thing. I have tried to make a conscious choice to live in the moment... To be true to who I am and what I feel. Guess what? This means I may sometimes laugh loudly. This means I may jump up and shout with excitement. This is just a silly example of "being shushed", but it has caused a train of thought that I can't seem to get out of my head. Life is short. Fleeting. Do we want to live ...
