accomplishments, epiphanies and general bloggery
On my drive home today, as I fed myself
french fries and a hamburger from Jack in the Box,
I was feeling happy
because I finally got to see, hold, feed and burp
my cutie pie nephew after a week of seperation.
I gave myself a little pat on the back
for doing something good for myself today.
Usually, I just let the tiredness from work take over
and render me useless for the rest of the evening.


Then, suddenly, the destructive act of
feeding my body crap (a la the french fries and burger)
juxtaposed with the healthy feeding of my soul by visiting my nephew
struck me.
"Why do I do that?", I thought.
Why do I let myself engage in things that are unhealthy for me?
After all, I wasn't even really hungry for a burger
and fries. It was just habitual.
I needed to do something to relieve the boredom
of the 45-minute drive from my nephew's home to mine.

The revelation was ground breaking...shit, I usually never
have such epiphanies during the boring work week, so I was in shock.

But the clarity inspired me, and I told myself that I would
make it a point to only feed myself, my body and my soul
with only healthy, positive things.
Tonight, I started by fixing my laundry basket full of clothes,
which I have neglected for almost a month!
cheers to new beginnings. I pray the motivation will last.

I chose to reward myself by typing this blog and now
I will read one of my baby books to learn more about
my nephew. I like rewards. :)
