In the Spirit of being a Good Presbyterian

I keep wanting to make these huge life changes and trying, only to let them fall by the wayside...

I've come to the conclusion that I am the type of person that needs to be held accountable by someone else.... So you're it, whoever you are reading this blog, I am now going to hold myself accountable to you, whether you like it or not :)  I also have a problem with putting things off and "oh I'll start tomorrow" with no real intentions of starting tomorrow, or next week for that matter.  This time, I am ACTUALLY going to start tomorrow, as tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, and what better reason to hold myself accountable to something than my favorite reasoning for everything... (you can just ask Caroline)

I AM A PRESBYTERIAN.

Its one of the things in my life that I believe legitimately happened for a reason.  I couldn't have ended up a part of a more perfect religion for me, even if I had attempted to create one myself.  I'm not going to pretend like I go to church every Sunday, or even close to it, but I have been taught and know these things to be true (and say them to myself more than once a day, for whatever reason)... and somehow, it keeps me sane.

Everything happens for a reason.

What is meant to be, will be.

My "Lent List" as I am calling it, includes (but is not limited to) the following:

Making Every Day a Good Day & Seeing the Brighter Side of Things
Trying New Things, Venture Out on my Own
Saving Money
Get A Job
Eating Healthy Everyday
Exercising Everyday
Cooking New Recipes
... And holding myself to this, by telling You! whoever you are

I don't promise that I have the most exciting life, as I'm 100% positive that I don't... so read at your own risk.  Seeing as how this was my attempt at a break in my week long study session of 4 Finals this week, I better get back to studying (Mom will appreciate that one)
PS: Mom&Dad I got a 93 on my first final! WhooHoo!

ALSO, (Brad, if you're reading this) Thanks to Brad for unknowingly letting me steal his awesome picture of the Lake, its also my desktop background.  Hope you feel better soon Rooms!

Something to Look Forward to:
Thursday begins my Spring Break. I can't wait to catch a break from school work.  It will be a nice change.
First Stop, Charlotte to go to Sara Evans at Joe's with my two life-long bests, Caroline and Hawley (and Shaina will be there!) 

Here goes nothing...  :)

  1. I am reading.... and I like. I will check in regularly.... because yes, I too believe everything happens for a reason. As I try to figure out what I will change about me this Lenten season I just might get inspired by you and what you are doing.
