My absolute favorite show growing up was Dead Poets Society. I watched it today for the first time since High School. I was reminded why I love it so. It's such a beautiful movie and I'm not just talking about the boys.
The premise of the whole movie is individuality; not conforming to society and becoming passionate about your life. I guess that is why I studied Sociology in school. I'm fascinated by those who seek out their interests and take action. My brain is full of half-cocked ideas of who I want to be. In reality, I don't believe I'm anything like what I "want" to be. I think I'm so bogged down with the "what nots" to live in the present and suck the morrow out of my life.
I was so set on not being ordinary, that it's now my reality. I feel very ordinary. I still feel like a teenager trying to find my strengths, interests and talents. As I think about my life and my interests, I feel very much like the conformist.
So here's the question: How does a housewife seize the day? What do you do to suck the morrow out of your life?
In your perception, how do I Carpe Diem?

Christi you can seize the day by taking your husband to lunch one day surprising him, having the house clean when he comes home, AND later than night..... do what married people do!
Good Good question! Maybe the day should just be seized in small moments! Nothing grand! I like the idea I've heard lately about doing something creative each day. Even if it's just making pancakes. It's about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary! I can't wait to hear what other people suggest!
I agree with Clarice. It's in the moments. Be spontaneous. Make little things BIG things. Get out of your comfort zone. Serve.
Increase the size of your comfort zone. Of course, that means stretching the zone. :)
Make the comfort zone fit your desires instead of choosing desires based on what fits in your current zone.
