Reminder to myself in case I ever need it:
I can be enthusiastic! Proof: Here is a list of things I’m
jazzed about right now.
My Husband • Saving
Money • Books • Craftiness & Upcycling • Smart Writing (mostly not my own) • Outside • Fad Diets • Recipes • Being
Lazy (as an Artform) • Exercise • Creating Perfect Playlists • Planning • Doctor Who • Neil Gaiman • Amy Pohler • My Dream of Living
in a Hobbit Hole That Is Off-the-Grid • My Dream of Walking Through All of the
Lower 48 States • Knitting • Other things I'm not thinking of right now
Here is another thing:
Yesterday I had lots and lots of lovely happy birthday
messages on my Facebook wall. Often this is how I feel when Facebook tells me
that it is someone’s birthday---->
But yesterday I decided that I would answer every single
person who wished me happy birthday with a message. I started last night and finished this morning and
answered everyone, even if it was just a generic “Thanks! Hope you are doing
well.” It felt good and some people even responded.
Remember this, future self, you always have it in you to
wish people a happy birthday. These days, it takes very little effort to reach
out to someone. There is no sense in isolating yourself. There is no need to
feel alone. A few simple keystrokes can brighten your day and someone else’s.
