Yesterday was a crazy day!
I think my blood pressure might have shot up a point or 100. But in all that, I learned a few lessons.
11.
I was so
mad at my city. Actually at our previous
mayor, she did a poor job of managing our city’s finances, and because of that
we have less city services, and it makes me crazy! It’s no shock that I don’t like my city that
much, but I can either sit by and do nothing or I can do something about it. I
am smart (though sometimes not always wise) and so I am going to gather data
and try to do something about it. I
know… you can’t fight city hall, but I
don’t want to fight… I just want to see
if I can help. And so I will

Sometimes we need to have really great friends
in our corner cheering us on.
Yesterday
I was having a rough day when it came to wanting to make good choices, and I was
low on my step count because I worked from home and it’s not a very far walk to
the bathroom and that’s pretty much all I did yesterday except digging out plow
mess!
I made a delicious dinner

but I didn’t even want to eat it! I wanted to go out, probably eat something I
shouldn’t! But instead I had a great cheerleader friend who said “yes you can
go out” which really only made me want to eat at home because I made the food,
and it made me stick to my budget.
Also
she cheered me on as I was a little down about my steps, and she reminded me to
keep track of the good things/choices I made yesterday!
Made me feel like a winner!
3. I have a friend that I have known since High School
but probably haven’t seen or talked to since 10
th grade. We
reconnected on facebook (see it’s not all bad!) and it was nice to catch up,
and I hope we can meet up soon and really catch up!
He told me that when we were in high school I
often lifted his spirits when he was having a bad day.
Which really shocked me! I had absolutely no
idea!
I think we make crazy impacts on
people’s lives (good and bad) and sometimes we never know.
I can only imagine all the times I didn’t
make a difference for the good, but I am thankful for the times when I am
reminded, be kind. Take good care of people you know, and those you don’t.
It matters.
Though at some point I would not have chalked yesterday up
to a good day, as I walked around the block (trying to get in my 10,000 steps!)
I was reminded how there are lessons in every day. That God uses us even when we don’t know
it. That it’s important to do the right
things even when no one is watching.
It just sometimes takes time.
