Motivation Monday (Or How I Did Things That I "Don't" Do)

So there are things that I've regularly said I "don't" do.  "Oh, I don't run."  "Oh, I don't camp."  We make these statements because we don't THINK we do them, and we'd rather be the ones to knock our ego down a few notches than ever let anyone else see us fail at something.  Or maybe that's just me... So for years, decades even, I've told people that I don't do a lot of things.  It seems, however, that I do actually do many of the things I claim I do not do.  I'm actually quite good at some of those things.

Thursday Thoughts: A Bullet List of Excitement

I'm the type of "blogger" who randomly expounds upon topics that pop into my head at any given moment.  I've put "blogger" in quotes much like I used to put running in quotes.  This is because I believe that doing something periodically does not make you a person who does that thing.  For example, sometimes I paint; I am NOT a painter.  Anyway.  Lately I've been lacking when it comes to discussion topics.  Long gone are the days of dating blogs, the Bachelor live-blogs (you're welcome, J) and rumination on defining myself.  I'm finding myself stuck, for lack of a better term and mostly because I just mentioned painting, with an empty canvas.  I decided instead to list the things that are coming up shortly for which I am excited.

Likes: Candle-lit Brunches; Dislikes: Marathons

Every once in a while, I think it is a good thing to shake it up a bit.  Do something different.  Do something you're not sure if you're going to like doing.  Do something you may not be good at.  I think this is essential to life, yet I'm quite the creature of habit and I rarely jump at the opportunity to remove myself from my comfort zone of activities.  Saturday morning I did something new.
