Oh boy, I have been so restless lately. Forgetting to appreciate how great my life is. Fall makes me a bit squirrelly is all.

How to appreciate what I have
It made me
appreciative
 "I don't know why I made this goal, but I sure have met it."
How I did it: Can't remember what this related to, what I felt I wasn't appreciating, but after my best friend died, relationship of 2 years broke up, had to drop out of college, had a minor car accident, moved back to my dad's at 29 years old, and went through a bout of depression and weak health, I have a totally newfound appreciation for every little thing that remains, and all the good that is coming back into my life. I've always tried to remain humble, but this whole year has taught me a lot about what is really important in life and how not to take for granted the people and the things we have in our lives. Lessons & tips: Call an old friend or send an email. Talk to your parents/kids/siblings more. Give someone a compliment out of the blue. Complain less, or not at all if possible. Give chances, but wisely. Volunteer. Don't let 'em get you down!!!, etc. etc... Resources: social networking sites, volunteering, internet in general, library, therapy (the talk, not the drugs), self-analysis. |

I finally understood that can't wish for what you want ALL the time. I admit, I still spend a good amount of time wishing this and this could happen or life was this way or I had this or I had that - but, in reality, it does nothing. Doing something not only kills the boredom you might have before/whi… Read how I did it…
