Life has gotten crazy as LV-Day approaches (the day I pack and ship everything off to Las Vegas for the week of events, awards shows, luncheons and parties I’ll be working). The most I’ve managed technologically-wise is the occasional quirky tweet.
I have no complaints, just excitement. It seems that my life is going to be changing a great deal in the next six months and all I can do is sit back and rub my hands together with glee.
My gift lists are complete, I have something for everyone except my significant other. Though it won’t take too much pondering to think of at least three meaningful and inexpensive things (he hates when I spend a lot of money on him).
Today is day two of eating no meat. I can’t say I’m moving onto a completely vegetarian lifestyle but I am committing myself to an even healthier existence. I feel better already. I even began cooking nightly (okay two nights in a row is barely “nightly” but this is major progress for me). Tonight I made “General Tsao’s Tofu.” It was delicious!
I get a lot of happiness from seeing others succeed and find their own happiness, whether it involves them realizing how good it feels to donate, do something nice or excel in the particular field of their choice. During my philosophy studies, one scholar argued that doing good deeds could be a somewhat selfish act because of the good feelings a person experiences, or even seeks from their action.
As a part of my little plan to make the world a better place, I want to begin a health and exercise program/contest at work. I did a little research and learned this is something that was previously done, but I want to do it in a manner that inspires people to evolve into healthier beings rather than maintain a diet for the duration of the contest, only to go back their prior bad habits.
I guess this all may need to begin after the holiday party judging from the menu I’ve selected (based on everyone’s preferences). That’s all for tonight, I want to thank “K” for prompting me to update. It always gives me the nicest feeling when someone tells me they enjoy my writing or request another post.
Lastly, a few of my favorite pictures for the day, some from my pinterest. Do you pin? If you would like an invitation provide your email.
