In my effort to be as positive as possible I have decided to take a page from the Boy Scouts and do a good deed every day. Whether it's picking up litter on my walks or holding the door for someone at the liquor store I am going to make an actual effort to do good deeds large or small.
The other day I helped a man in a wheelchair at the grocery store. He couldn't reach down to get ice cream and asked me if I would help him. I did and asked if there was anything else he wanted. He had a few things he couldn't reach and I got them (funny, because I'm so short I usually have to ask passing tall people to help me out!). He was very nice and happy. I think that's when I started thinking about small good deeds.
Oreo and I usually pick up litter on our walks (except anything resembling medical waste... learned that downtown). I think I'll just be more conscientious fom here on out.
In other news, I thought I might be losing some of my "living-in-Olympia-and-just don't-try-anymore" weight at last! Then I realized that I have gotten so fat my hips can no longer be responsible for holding up my pants (can't find 'em so can't use 'em). I thought I needed a belt because I had to keep pulling up my jeans but in reality I need suspenders to hang my jeans off my shoulders. Maybe in my good deed doing I'll get more exercise and have less time for snacking? (10 lbs. less would be ideal... That's not asking much...)
The weather is perfect for a camping trip. I'm just pointing that out.
