Re: When did you feel really alive?

My first trip to a big city was awe inspiring. I still enjoy reading posts from you who write about Chicago and NYC. My wedding day was absolutely perfect. As someone who worries too much, I felt totally calm.

Whenever I attended a Rolling Stones concert.  Everyone happy dancing and singing.  Always made me come alive.


@Biftu  - this was my answer also.  When Lisa Fischer sings her solo on Gimme Shelter - Chills!

@GoneButNotForgotten  Probably when they placed my firstborn in my arms.  It was after I woke up from being under anesthesia as a a result of my C-section.  It's when I really felt alive and I knew I had meaning to my life.  👶

 

Then repeated the whole process again 20 months later.  👶


@SloopJohnB     I had the same experience.  I was married 10 years before my first and only baby came along.  I always wanted a little girl and my dream came true.  Life changing.

@Mombo1 Awww, so happy for you that you got your little girl.  My first was a girl, then came my boy.

@Mombo1  Ok, I know it's spelled differently but I have to ask, seeing your name, are you Italian?  🍝

@SloopJohnB    No...not Italian.  Actually the name Mombo comes from my daughter.  When she was really little she would call me Momb.  It sounded like she had a stuffy nose when she would say mom.  😀. Over the years she added the "o" to Momb......and the rest is history.  Mombo.
