Today, leave treasure where somebody will find it. It could be a stack of quarters, a gift card, or little trinkets. Sometimes I like to do this and hope that whatever I’ve left will make someone’s day. Leave clues to where you hide your treasures in the comments.
I find myself reading more and more comics online. It’s kinda ironic because I was never really into comics as a kid. Today, head over to your friendly neighborhood comic shop and grab an issue. If you’re not familiar with any current stories ask someone at the store to help you out.
Sometimes I forget to listen to music. It’s really weird, I’ll go through periods of time where I don’t listen to any music. Today I’ll be cranking up the tunes and sneaking over to Hype Machine to hear what the kids are into.
Do you forget to listen to music too?
I’m always singing silly songs to Amanda. I can’t help it. It’s fun! If you chicken out at the last minute you can always sing a silly song to yourself.
It’s really practical to learn how to fix things. You’ll save yourself money and get the satisfaction of doing it on your own. Today I’ll be learning how to fix a lawn mower. Wish me luck!
Did you learn how to fix anything today? Be sure to share it with us in the comments.
We’re gearing up to go on a diet. We’ll be spending the day clearing the cabinets of junk food. Shopping for healthy foods and prepping meals for the week. Our diet starts Monday and we’re never looking back! For us, this diet is the beginning of a permanent lifestyle change.
For Amanda & I, hobbies are a necessity. We pour so much time into our business that it consumes our life. Friends will ask us, “What did you guys do this weekend?”. Too often the answer is work. Hobbies are our chance to escape.
Today spend time on your favorite hobby. If you don’t have a hobby, use today to explore activities that interest you.
When I was a kid we were always laying in the grass gazing up at the stars. Tonight Amanda and I will be taking in the view of the skys above Florida. Let us know if you see anything neat like satellites, planets or UFO’s!
I’m starting a diet on Friday. Yes, this is a self-serving resolution. I wanted to end my sweet tooth with a bang by preparing a special dessert. I’m still torn between making cannoli’s or chocolate chip cookies. They may be simple desserts but they mean the most to me.
Please share the desserts you make or eat today.
Chocolate!
Today you’ll be telling yourself that you can lose weight, you will quit smoking and you do deserve that promotion. And gosh darnit, people like you!
I’m sorry if this resolution sounds like a Stuart Smalley (video) but if you keep telling yourself that your life sucks, your life is hard, that you’ll never make more money, you’ll never be happy, or that your boyfriend is cheating on you…. well, you can absolutely make all of those things a reality just by thinking that way.
Instead, think that your life is happy and amazing and it will be! Stop creating problems that don’t exist, or they will. Besides, nobody likes hanging out with negative Nancy’s or complainers (seriously, we won’t ever tell you, but we’re thinking it).
Sometimes the first step is teaching your mind to shut up when you start diving into a pool of negativity.
In the words of Barney Stinson, “when I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead.”
Be awesome instead.
