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!
