Checking In On Me/These are a few of my favorite things: introspection.

January 24, 2018

A while back when I met an age milestone, I made a book of 50 things life had taught me so far. And I think I gave it to my Mom?

After another milestone, I am now revisiting these and am set to create a brand new edition. Many of these old ones have been reinforced with time; some have proven to be too rigid, others: time-tested, pervasive and established in my value set, yet others: pinnacle habits of mind that were more goals than accomplishments. Ones I’m still working on.

Though this is a bit judgy-judgy, both of these things have proven to be good indicators of certain traits. Two of the infinite ways you reveal yourself.

I would change this to “Feeling attractive, smart and OK with yourself…”

Still thinking this one through…

Eh, not really.

This is optimistic. Sometimes you as a variable cannot change another’s constant.

Yes.

I hope.

Still oddly accurate.

This is even more true now than ever. Think deeply and critically and you feel quite naturally.

I need to take this advice more. And thinking about doing is not doing.

Sneezing works too. I love to hear someone sneeze. It’s like this flash of them losing control and I like it.

Oh, big time and now more than ever.

Meh, not really.

Yes, unfortunately.

Tremendously.

Eeeeh, don’t like this one anymore. Even if the world is finally catching up with my ideals.

It’s still dumb.

Do the occasional thing half-assed.

Stay tuned for some highlights of the new batch of “Things Life Has Taught Me.”
