Life is good eh?

Indeed it is.

I just read that back and it looks like I'm bragging a bit. I didn't mean it that way. I can honestly say it took a long time to get where I am.

It wasn't a comment, but a statement on your progress. It is good to see people happy and also that they realise they are happy. I am just like this, forget to smell the roses somethimes. Don't feel bad about be good!

I'm not a lover of people(outside of my circle), so No.9 & 10 will never happen with me. My mom is gone, so No.4 is out. I'm still unemployed, so forget No.1. Otherwise, it's a good list.

Dude, I think that's the point...go ahead and compliment a few random people - even at the gym - and the positivity that you bestow upon them will reflect upon you. Or some shit like that.

I bought a pack of socks...but it's so cold here that all the homeless folk are in hiding. I would drop them off at one of those clothes donations boxed that are all over the place, but I think that most of those clothes wind up in third-world marketplaces for sale.

Take them to a place that actually runs a shelter - a church, the Salvation Army, or St. Vinnie's.

No.10 Buy A Package Of Sock

I get this in principle but I don't really live where many homeless people wander. Why socks? does anyone have an alternatives for this? I give time to a charity each week?

No.9 Compliment 5 Random People

If I see 5 people I will try and complement them. Just speaking to 5 people to say "hi" or "good morning" makes me feel better.

No.8 Work Out For 30 Minutes

Did an hour this morning, first real excersise since doing my knee. Feels GREAT!!

No.7 Focus On A Project

Just one? I wish! Perhaps this advice is good if I can keep it to one, and make an impact I recognise at the end of the day?

No.6 Read A Chapter

Too much reading on at the moment, all reading time is on work based persuits. Do I need to take out time for a book? I commute by car or work from home, need me some dead time!!

No.5 Give Blood

Can't, I am on steroids. Always used to give as often as I could back in the day, feels good.

No.4 Call Your Mom

I would love to, but she is dead.

No.3 Make Your Lunch

I cant think of anything more disgusting than week old sandwiches. I cooked the kids dinner before coming to work this morning, game bird pie!! I will be having some of that for my dinner too! Had left over pasta for lunch. Cooking makes me feel good, but fresh daily, try to find the time.

No.2 Call Your Bank

All my spare cash is going into our house, THAT is my retirement fund.

No.1 Ask For A Raise

Plan on meeting this month to go for promotion.

Apparently I am quite manly. One of my husbands (ex) friends txt'd him the other week and said I had 'the face of a man'.

what men is he hanging out with?!

My Husband!!!!

Naw. It's all good. He was reaching and that was all he could come up with.

It all sounds much too simple

I do however like #10 very much and #9 is good too,

as long as the compliments are genuine.

There's nothing worse than compliments that are transparent and fake.

A genuine compliment, however, can put a shit-eating grin on your face for days.

These are all wonderful self-improvement plans I can't really say that I do them all every day,

especially the 'working out for 30 minutes'. I was back into doing that in October, November,

and part of December. Then over the Holidays, I slacked.
