Stapler

A few days ago I bought a new stapler and whiteboard markers. For work. I was really, really, freakishly excited about that. And it was then that I realized how sad my life was. When toonie tuesday and the purolator guy coming are the highlights of your week, you know you're spending to much time at work. But that's okay, I'm cool with that. Infact, that's just how I like it. I could work less hours if I really wanted to, but then what would I do with all my spare time? Besides, who needs sleep anyways?
But really, I'm happy. I mean, why wouldn't I be?? Life is just plain great.
PLUS I have the house to myself again. Yup, just me and the fish in that big ol' house. Is it weird that I treasure that time I have to myself? I love coming home and being able to do whatever I want, no matter what time it is.
AND I did something that I have been wanting to do for a while now. More on that later :)
But all in all, life is good. For right here, for right now, this is what I got. And I love it.

I have been itching to blog for a while now, but have been forcing myself to resist that temptation.

Why, you ask?

Why is blogging a temptation that must be resisted?

Well it is when you have this many thoughts running around in your head.
I figured if I blogged it would all just come out and end up sounding like a novel written by someone who should be locked up in an institution.

aka. me. I am a crazy person. I should be locked up.

But enough about that.

I am limiting myself to 3 things today. In this way I try to avoid crazy ramblings.



1. I am so so so freaking grateful for the amazing friends I have. They are so awesome to me, especially when I am a moody jerk to them and they still love me and try to make me happy.

2. I have the house to myself. It's fantastic.

3. I have made a pledge. I promise to be nicer to everyone. The strangers I will never see again, those people that I know but not really, and my friends and family that are so dear to me. I promise not to put you down. To not make rude, sarcastic remarks. To be positive and uplifting all the time. Or at least I will try my hardest. I will probably slip up. When I do, please be patient with me. I am trying. maybe you could even remind me of my promise? Perhaps more on this  and what brought it about in a later post. When I am not so crazy.

Anyways, I got to get back to my padded cell now.

Wait, one more thing..

So here I was, sitting at work, bemoaning the fact that my life was so boring and uninspiring and I had nothing to blog about when a couple of remarkable things happened.
1st. I found this person's blog. I met her once and was immediately impressed with her awesomeness and positive outlook on life. I spent a few minutes reading her inspiring posts and got the sense that being positive wasn't something that comes naturally, it's something she works at, all the time. Seriously inspiring. (I really hope you don't mind me linking you)
2nd. Someone brought me flowers. Yes, flowers. I was just sitting there, in the club house, feeling lame. When one of the guys who works here came in with a bunch of flowers. He had seen them while out on the course, picked them, put them in his coke bottle and then gave them to me! Seriously the greatest thing of my life. And now those flowers are sitting there, beside the till, continuing to brighten my day and hopefully everyone else's who walks in here.
And all of a sudden, it clicked. Well, several things actually.
How many times have I rushed past and not seen those wildflowers? How many things have I missed because I was so determined to hurry hurry hurry so I wouldn't miss anything?
How easy is it to give someone some flowers? Or give them a smile? Or say hello? How easy is it to brighten someone else's day? And how often do I? Will we ever realise the good we could do with just one simple act?
How fantastic is every single day? So fantastic. And yet, I am so caught up in looking ahead that I keep forgetting where I am.
So I pledge.
I promise that
Every single day I will STOP
I will do something for someone else
And I will remember why my life is great
Every.single.day.
Starting with yesterday.

Yesterday I...
Went to church.
Sang for some people (hopefully this was an improvement to their day!)
Star-gazed.
Talked to a good friend, and hopefully made her feel better.
Forgot to stop.

Today I...
Stopped. :)
Blogged.
Challenged myself, and succeeded
Went to the gym, and it felt great!
