It's February 1 which means it is update time!
This month I discovered that adding something consistently into my routine is much MUCH harder for me than taking something out. The thank you notes...didn't really happen... I wrote a few, but definitely not everyday. Sigh. My plan is to make a list of people I have thought of over the past month...and continue trying to write to them. While my actual writing of notes lagged quite a bit this last month, the mindset of thanking people and thinking of different people I am grateful for has refined my thinking in a positive way. Now, I just need to learn to live it out!!!
What's next? For the month of February, I am giving up going out to eat. This includes things like boba and shave ice. Over the past couple months, my eating out habits have gotten out of control. Mind you, most times I "go out" it is not high end...and I am conscious about the cost of what I'm getting. But a Wendy's run here and some teriyaki there adds up. This may make it seem like I am doing it simply for financial reasons. That is not the case. Going out honestly demonstrates my laziness. I grab restaurant food when I am "too tired" to cook or when "I don't feel like" making a packed lunch. The discipline of not going out to eat at all will be beneficial to me on many levels. Towards the end of every month I seek God about what's next...and interestingly, this is what He brought to mind. So here's to another month of adventure! :D
God has been rocking my world this year. It has been an incredible journey with many blessings--and a few hardships. If you want to know more, feel free to ask me!
