Well, I've made several huge changes in my life. The diet, the exercise, the divorce, and changing jobs. It's really life. I've started a brand new life. It's scary. I mean it's frighteningly scary at times. On the plus side, it's all positive. I have some negative things going on in my life too right now, but I try not to focus on those things. They are temporary, and all my positive things I'm striving to make permanent. It's not an easy task, but seeings the results of my efforts is making it all very worthwhile. It's a learning adventure as well, by that I mean I'm learning a lot about myself along the way.
Normally I'm the last person to compliment myself, and I don't know if that was a self esteem issue or what, but now I can see the positives in myself and I am proud. I mean I don't go around professing how great I think I am, but I'm not afraid to brag a little if the occasion arises. I'm also more receptive of compliments, where as in the past I just assumed people were trying to be nice instead of honest. I've had several people over just the last few weeks tell me how nice I am. I finally asked one why they think I'm nice. The response took me a little off guard. They said that I did favors, tasks or was just generally there for them and I didn't expect anything in return. I don't ever do something with the intention of having something done for me in return. It's sad that some people treat kindness with the expectation of a return on investment. Be nice, people. You'll be better for it, and so will the world. I guess that's today's public service announcement. Do with it what you will.
Since there has been so much interest in the health and fitness series I wrote, I'm going to try to include a little tip in each blog entry. I won't today, because honestly, I just got through working out (it's 11:00p) and I've got yo be at work at 7a, so I'm cutting this one a bit short. More to come soon.
Until next time dear readers...
