“How soon 'not now' becomes "never'.”

Ever notice how some, well most, people push off things? A talking, that vacation, a doctors visit, fixing the car...

It usually is explained by, "Not now because -insert excuse here-." & there are many reasons for this. Fear. Skewed priorities. Lack of confidence. Comfort level.

I have a cousin who now has to have a toe amputated b/c he never went to the doctors over something small, that eventually turned worse & got infected.

I had a friend who never rode a roller coaster till he was 23. He was always afraid as a child. His first words when getting of the Millenium Force at Cedar Point, "So THIS is what I have been missing?!?!?!"


Most people want to do whatever it is, but lack something inside them to do it. A small push from the outside can help them out.

I say help a friend by giving them that push. I also say give yourself that push too. I say find something you have put in the "not now" category & do it this week, or make solid plans to do it as soon as possible. Not only will it be refreshing, but it will add some excitement.

I don't ever recall a good Monday

As I look back at what I have seen, most of the good or better has been spuradic, fleeting, & not much. But I do not ever recall it happening on a Monday.

Monday seems to be reserved as the day everyone struggles to get through. The day everyone dreads. Even if it is not Monday, people have often used "It's my Monday" to express that today is a day they do not want & are pushing to get over as fast as possible. I say why not do a few small things to make Monday more bright?


Identify one thing you wanted to do over the weekend & do it on that Monday as a make-up.
Make a "could-do" list for the week instead of a "to-do" list.
Keep a running list of good things that happen for you on Mondays to look back on.
Find out what is making that particular Monday bad & eliminate it

What would/do you do to make Mondays fun?

Testing

So this is a test to see if I can get this blog up & running. I chose the name "This might or might not be updated" for two reasons:

The first reason being that this is a statement I like to use when trying to answer a question without answering it. "Wait a minute...do you like Sarah?!?" "I might or might not like Sarah".
It is technically an answer, but it does not answer anything, & the meaning can change with how you say it.

The second reason being that I am random in a non-random way. I can & have made routines successfully. But...I have also dropped them for no reason only to pick them back up at a later time. I can easily see myself posting in a routinely fashion, then stop posting for a month or so only to start up again in the same routine I had previously established, hence, "This might or might not be updated."

So check back oftem as this might or might not be updated!
