Day 4: Write a blog

Okay, so this one might be a bit of a cop out.  It's a bit self-explanatory. "Day 4: Write a blog".

But it's 10:00pm on a Monday and I'm ready for bed.  I'm getting up early for a 6:15am yoga sculpt class.  I spent the evening packing my gym bag, my breakfast, and my lunch, making breakfast and lunch for Grant, cleaning the kitchen, writing a complaint to our landlords about the upstairs neighbors, and watching Chopped: Halloween Baking.

I feel productive and satisfied.

So there isn't much to delve into here with Day 4.  I suppose I'll write about the blog, the motivation behind it, and what I hope comes of it.

I don't see this so much a public blog, but rather a place to gather my own thoughts.  I actually haven't told anyone that I'm writing this blog.

An old friend recently asked if I was still writing, and I had to admit that I wasn't.  I haven't written at all since Peace Corps.  I don't find inspiration in everyday, seemingly mundane tasks like I did in Lesotho.

My hope is that by having an everyday goal of doing something that inspires happiness, I'll look at the world with glittering eyes and feel full of gratitude and joy with everything that I have.  The tasks on the list aren't outrageous - they're simple little goals that I can (somewhat easily) achieve every day over the course of a year.  And that's all.
