I really admire people who view their their blogs as more than just a way to archive life events. To record more personal things like setting goals, steps in self improvement, and just random observations and musings is something I really want to start doing more of - to have posts that are actually more about the words than the pictures. Some of these bloggers do this and their four thousand readers comment and encourage and praise them through the process, and though of course I do feel like that'd be really nice, I've lately been finding a lot of little blogs just like mine, who have a lot less than four thousand readers {I've got a grand total of eleven, plus two sneaky little private followers... slightly creepy haha [: But I digress} that I like even more. The authors are just quietly putting their personal thoughts and goals out there without looking for acknowledgement, just out there for someone like me to stumble upon & get all inspired by and whatnot. They write for themselves, but in a way that is accessible to other people who might be able to relate to them and draw strength from that common opinion, struggle, or goal. I really like those people, and I wanna be more like 'em.
With that in mind, I'm starting a weekly thing for myself. In my journal each Monday morning after my run, I come up with one or two things I want to improve on during the following week and stick 'em on a sticky note on my mirror. Then, I DO them. {Yeah. I hadda think that through reeeeall long and hard to work out all those complex details.} I'll post them here if I feel like it, but no guarantees. We'll see.
#1) My first goal is something I want to get better at because my room/peace of mind/my parents' peace of mind will benefit immensely from it. I have the bad habit of not putting clothes away when I take them off. They just kind of get haphazardly folded and stuck at the base of my dresser or sometimes not even that. Normally I'm a pretty tidy person and a dirty room really bugs me. I'm not sure how I've gotten away with this for so long. Pretty embarrassing ): So this week I refuse to let any article of clothing touch the floor on its way from my body to its location of residence.
#2) My second goal mostly stems from hearing from all my dude friends on their missions and reading their testimonies about the manual Preach My Gospel. I've had my own copy for years and have done a few FHE lessons, EFY morning devotionals, and stuff like that out of it, but mostly it just hangs out in my bookcase with my old yearbooks and photo albums. This week I want to start making a habit of reading 20 minutes of PMG every night after my two chapters of scripture reading.
Goal settin! Woo! Makes a girl feel pretty good. [:
