Where to begin...Two nights ago (April 30) I decided that I'd had enough off all my negativity and slagging myself off. So, I thought of something to do about it. I decided to make a Midnight Resolution which is like a New Years Resolution, only for no other reason other than it was midnight. My resolution had several parts, some of which i added as I went along. Firstly, I was going to be more positive, trying to look at the good side of a situation instead of immediately dismissing it. Secondly, I was going to say "Thank You" anytime anyone said something nice about me, regardless of whether or not I believed it, the hope was that eventually I might start believing the good things other people saw in me. Thirdly, I'm going to start smiling more, daily if possible, at everyone even strange people! I did it for the entire day (May 1) but, by about 11pm I realized how much it takes out of a person to be so positive and to supress all those bad feelings. I now give lots of respect to anyone I see being chirpy all the time. I even found that by smiling people smiled back - AT ME?!? | |

Day Two (Today) of the resolution went by rather well. I think I did super-well on a test I wrote in calculus today. I finished in about 30 minutes and everyone around my was still furiously scribbling at about an hour. So, either the test was very easy for me and i knew my stuff better than I thought I did -OR- I failed miserably. I just felt good about writing this one, which doesn't always happen. Then I went up to the mall and got my glasses fixed, and bought a nice big bottle of Extra strength Tylenol (yummy in my tummy). On my way back to school I got an Iced Cappuchino from Tim Hortons (even yummier in my tummy) which was a nice treat. I'd call today a GREAT day, yepp, I'd go as far as to say that. I know it may not seem outstanding to any of you but, I didn't frown once, i stole electricity from the school - well not exactly stealing but, I used against their will - I got my glasses fixed, I didnt fail my test(hopefully)..ack well, it was just good!!! |
