May project: be a little silly

May 8, 2013

Today is day 8 of the blog every day in May challenge! Today the prompt is: A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all.

Don’t take yourself too seriously. I am often times in need of this advice.

Smile more, if you like the song be the first to dance, sing out loud if you want, give a little shimmy and shake that seriousness off. If the picture isn’t perfect but you like it anyway, share it! If it’s warm out wear something for function versus fashion. Let you hair air dry and go with it. Leave the house without make up on. Walk in the city with your shoes off. Skip in the grass. You’re never too old to do something you enjoy. If something gets you down try and not let it ruin your day (maybe this is the one I need).

Will you be a little silly day?



May project: what do you do?

May 6, 2013

It’s day 6 of the blog every day in May challenge. Today’s prompt? If you couldn’t answer with your job, how would you answer the question, ‘what do you do’?

Hmm…

I let my mind wander…a lot. I take walks when I’m in the mood and I listen to music. I work out in the park a couple of times of week. I like to knit and watch tv shows at the same time. I cook a lot and I do dishes a lot. I send my mom pictures of the food I eat. I call my dad on the phone. I think about being kinder to my boyfriend and then forget when I get irritated. I sometimes paint, draw, and sew. I buy little plants and try to keep them alive. I ride a bike when I don’t walk. I play frisbee and kick a soccer ball around on the weekends. I camp and hike and forage in the woods. I thrift store shop and buy things at estate sales. I try to forget daily about a day when my loved ones or I won’t be around. I take pictures. I travel and visit friends as often as I can. I go to concerts if I really, really love who’s playing.

What do you do?
