This blog was initially created to help me document my progress toward my New Year's Resolutions as a way to hold myself accountable (and possibly entertain a few readers... ahh heem). My main goals were to run a 5k, set and follow a budget, and try to be a more thoughtful person. As a courtesy to my devout readers.... who are sincerely interested in my progress... I am writing a quick mid-year update.
I ran a 5K in March and have since decided that's not really for me. I'm crossing that one off my list. From now on, I'll be sticking to the classic walk-down-main street or my dear friend, Elliptical. But, I ran one... Mission accomplished.
The budgeting goal is still a work in progress (ask my dear husband... who has bailed me out several times as of late). This will most likely remain a work in progress over the next few months with vacations, weddings, and showers (oh my!). Hopefully, as I finish my master's and see that pay increase, this will be a more feasible goal.
Now to my thoughtfulness...and sometimes lack thereof. I have made a more conscientious effort to do thoughtful things for my friends and family (and some dear strangers along the way) over the past six months. I feel somewhat awkward blogging about these things because it sounds rather "holier-than-thou"... which is NOT my intention in the least. So, I modified this resolution; in addition to being more thoughtful, I will notice the random acts of kindness or thoughtful acts of those around me and blog about what I see. By observing others' thoughtfulness in action, I will be encouraged to follow suit and possibly inspire some of you to do the same.
In the near future, I will share my people-watching (my favorite sport) notes and stories of random acts of kindness around us. Unless I see something really ugly or rude... and I may share that, too.
