Sometimes I take myself way too seriously and can come across as being a pretty serious person.  Then, sometimes I can act like I’m back in high school.  Eddie Vedder makes me act like I’m back in high school.

I’ve had the privilege of going to quite a few concerts lately.  I have had a wonderful time at all of them and enjoyed the music very much, but if you were watching me from a distance you’d just see me bouncing my legs up and down a little bit and that’s about it.  I could be having the time of my life, but sometimes it’s hard to tell.

And then I went to Pearl Jam last weekend…

It didn’t matter that I’ve seen Pearl Jam live a number of times as well as Eddie Vedder perform two solo tours or that I had the honor of meeting him and having a quick conversation with him back in the 90’s.  I still acted like I was back in high school.

And I tell you what, I had an absolute blast!

I yelled and screamed lyrics and in between songs, danced and even participated in a two person mosh pit.  It was absolutely incredible.

It was a great reminder that I don’t allow myself to let loose enough, be silly and really enjoy myself.  We all need to know the things that make our heart sing and make sure that we give ourselves those gifts every once in a while.

What are some things that cause you to act like you are back in high school and what would it take for you to be able to do one of them?

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and do something that makes you act like you are back in high school!
