February is one of my favorite months! It is my birthday month and has always held a nice place in my heart.
The above photo is of a little bit prose that came with a necklace I was given for Christmas. I love this. I love the necklace too, but this advice is priceless and goes along with what I am trying to accomplish within myself as well as what I would like to spread to the rest of the world. Be YOURSELF. Be the very best version of YOU that you can be. Trying to be somebody else will only make you miserable and will most likely keep you from being and doing what you are meant to be and do with your life!
Because it is a month known for love because of it being the home month for Valentines Day and such, I decided that the theme for this month should be doing good deeds. Sharing the love. Paying it Forward. However you'd like to think of it.
Doing this challenge of a pic a day with different themes for the month has been really rewarding. The last time I did the pic a day challenge I didn't blog about each day and I didn't have different themes. I am really enjoying having to find meaning and lessons and the beauty in every day when I blog about it. Being forced to go out and do and try more things than normal was really great! Curtis and I did a lot more interesting stuff than we might have normally. I know that I tend to get stuck in ruts and sometimes, even worse, self pitying ruts. Having to go out and do things reminded me that I have the ability to make my life what I would like it to be. Whether I have money or not. I'm really looking forward to the doing good deeds challenge because I know that I feel better about my life when I am able to help other people or animals, even if only in a small way. Since it might be hard to photograph the good deeds, my daily photos will just be interesting pics of the day or pretty pics or they just may be representative of the day.
I am also going to try and meet up with an old friend at least once a week starting this month. I don't know how long I am going to do this particular part of the challenge so I guess we'll see how this month goes and take it month to month after that.
I haven't done my good deed yet today and the day is only half over at this point so I will blog again for today at the end of the day or tomorrow morning.
Happy February!
