Now what?

One of the things I would like to do with my blog is something that I tried before and failed miserably at doing. I tried keeping a journal where each day I would write five positive things or things that just made me happy for the day. I think that by doing it this way instead of writing it on paper, I might feel more accountability to actually do it. Well, some days there may only be three, but I'll give it a valiant effort. So here's today's ...

1 - Text messages at midnight. While some may find them an annoyance, they remind me that I am loved and that someone is thinking of me.

2 - Coffee, cause who can have a fully productive day without it.

3 - 70 degrees and sunshine. 'nough said.

4 - Betty White - cracks me up.

5 - Coworkers that you enjoy working with, even if you don't always like the job.

I also woke up this morning dreaming about cupcakes. Not sure what that is about but I'm sure my coworkers would tell me that means I need to bake more. And this time 3 years ago I was horseback riding through the African savannah. Yes, I'm obsessing. And now I need to go harvest my crops on Farmville ....

The random thoughts begin ....

Actually not really. I've thought about starting a blog but then realized that I'm not sure that I'd want anyone to read it. Or that anyone would want to read it. So this blog is more about me writing down my random thoughts. Some people use Twitter -- I don't get Twitter. I mean I GET it, but it's not for me. My random thoughts usually require more characters than that.

Why did I choose an elephant as my background? Because elephants never forget. I have a fiance with a memory like an elephant. I think that he's one of the reasons I'm starting a blog -- because I don't want to forget either. And someday my blog might just turn into a best-selling novel or a big screen film. For anyone who has played any part in my journey with William, they would probably agree. But I'll leave those stories for another day. Right now I'm tired and going to bed. And remembering that exactly 3 years ago at this moment, I was being summoned out of bed by someone in Kenya bearing coffee so I could sit out on my front porch and watch the elephants roam by on the hillside before going out on a morning game drive. There's those darn elephants again.
