Thought for the day

i really need to change some of my routines.  Not that routines are a bad thing, but in order to achieve certain goals, i need to switch things up.  There are some things that i do every day that i will continue to do in the order i have been doing.  For instance, every morning when i get up i feed white kitty.  She's always waiting at the front door for me for her breakfast.  Sometimes, she does venture into the house to sniff around.  Luckily, Squirt is still asleep then LOL  White kitty likes to go under the sofa in the living room.  i don't know why, but that's where she goes.  Anyway, feeding her breakfast will continue to be a part of my morning routine.  But, i can do some other things differently like eat breakfast and read the paper.  i do not eat breakfast like i should and it will be good for me to start doing so on a regular basis.  And since i have a subscription to the paper, i might as well sit down and at least look it over!

i started thinking about these things over the past few days because we are heading out of town this week for our annual camping trip.  And, when we come back, it will be time for me to implement some changes.  It will be a good starting point for me.  As i sat down this morning and read the church bulletin that came in the mail yesterday, i realized there is so much going on in that community that i do not take part in and i would like to.  i want to be a part of life....to participate instead of just watching from the sidelines.  Church is just one area where i can do that.  We shall see.

It is so easy for me to get stuck in routines...especially unhealthy ones.  i want to have some new hobbies that are not only better for me, but will expand my life experience.  i got off to a good start with getting together with people over the last month, but i have let that wane some and i can totally see myself giving up on that if i allow it.  Giving up on things is the easy way out.  Sticking with them is hard.  If i don't at least challenge myself, i will never know what i am capable of and how the quality of life can be enhanced simply by trying.

So, i am happy to take any suggestions LOL  Until then, i will make a list and start working on that!

Cheers
