I haven’t been writing, but I have stayed on program. It’s actually not that hard to do one nice thing a day, and it’s become rote for me to think about it now. I think I’ll try to make it a habit that I keep doing, even after this year is up. Today I donated money to a charity. Yesterday, I babysat for a friend. The day before that, I took a co-worker’s crap shift as a favor and also volunteered to be the person who organized dinner orders for everyone. I can’t remember farther back than that, but I have definitely done something nice every day. I actually didn’t do anything today and was in bed trying to fall asleep when I realized it. I got up, made an online donation to Camfed, and then decided to update the blog. I stopped updating because there is so little to report. My life, at the moment, is on a pretty boring track. Maybe it’s my fault. I am just out of ideas for things to do. I tried applying for new jobs, but I haven’t been able to get hired anywhere, so I’m now in the process of coming up with next steps. I suppose there is still time left for this year to surprise me… or maybe I need to up the stakes and start doing two nice things a day.
