Passion

One of the neatest things about the convention was the fact that no matter who you talked to, the lady sitting next to you, the family in the elevator, or the volunteers, you all had something in common and never lacked for a conversation starter. Twilight.

I know, as well as you, because I have said it a million times, reading Twilight changed my life. I think that it just gave me something to love. Not the same kind of love that I have for my kids or my husband, but an escape. My supernatural hiding place where no stress can touch me.

What I have often wondered is whether or not my obsession is healthy? It seems that I am not the only one. If you look at my facebook friends you will see that about half of them are in some way related to my love of Twilight. So obviously I am not alone, but am I a minority? What we all have in common is a passion for the same thing.

How many people in your life can you say really have a passion? I couldn't tell you what my Mom's passion is or my Dad's. I can't tell you my husband's or my best friend's. I can tell you my kid's, though. Huh? Maybe they have not been jaded by life, and have not learned how to put their obligations before passions?

The people that I met at The Twilight convention all had one thing in common-- a passion. Regardless of our obligations we were all able to come together and share conversation and smiles.

I think the secret of life is to find your passion. To find it and hold onto it until it becomes an obligation. To be happy!!

LA- Here we come!!

OH MY DEAR SWEET EDWARD!!! I am going to LA June 10-14 to see Rob, Kristen, and Taylor and many others at the Eclipse Convention!!!

I literally can barely form a sentence let alone type a post!!!!!

I have an extra kidney that I will sell, 2 cats, and I will even rent out my husband for odd jobs!! I need a convincing argument for my kids that college is really not necessary. Money is seriously going to be gone after this. Hamburger Helper and PB and J all summer!!!

Oh well... It will be so worth it!!!

I so hope that Rob Kristen and Taylor are this funny in LA!!
