Getting things together

It is hard to make changes. I have found myself thinking about things in my life that need to change. I feel like I have been in a holding pattern for awhile now. Trying to figure out how to get started. It is overwhelming when you look at everything so I am focusing on just one thing at a time. This week my thing is to smile everyday and walk/jog for 30 min every day. I need to be happier with myself and feel good in my body again. This is totally selfish on my part. I am not doing this for anyone except me. That in and of itself is hard. I am good at doing for others but not very good at doing for my self.

Snow in April???

This is crazy. It is the middle of April and yesterday we had rain, hail, and snow all in the course of 5 minutes. It continued to snow and sleet the rest of the day. By the time I left work and headed home (6pm) we had an inch or so of snow on the ground. Now, being from Missouri this doesnt particularly bother me. However the Washingtonians who havent learned to drive in snow/sleet do bother me. This is the only place I have lived where people will actually abandon their vehicles rather than drive in snow.

The crazy part is last week we had a record high in the 70's with gorgeous sunshine.

Are you always that generous?

A man got on the bus, the fare was $1.50, he only had bills... no change. He asked me if I had change for a dollar. I did not. I did however have 50cents. So I offered it to him. He thanked me, paid the fare, and sat down. The rest of the ride was uneventful until we reached my stop. As I stepped off the bus, the driver asked me, "are you always that generous?" I thought it was an interesting question, because I didnt think I had done anything generous. My answer..."If I do something nice for him, maybe he'll do something nice for someone else." It is amazing to me that the act of giving someone 50 cents is considered generous.
