The Fairway of Life

Well, I made it to two posts in two days. I didn't want to post. More than that, though, I didn't want this project to fall by the wayside one day/post in. I need to follow through more, and that involves taking one small step at a time.

I think I've become a half-glass empty person. I think I used to be more optimistic. I feel that here would be a good place to try to improve/reverse that situation.
Good things:
- I got a couple compliments at work today. After telling the client that I joined Wolf not quite a year ago, and interned before that, but am otherwise fairly new, they commented that this audit has been pretty good and that I seem knowledgeable and not new. I couldn't help but smile; many days I feel like I don't know anything. Second, the manager was out today, and I've heard he can be picky, but I didn't get many review notes, and those that he left seemed okay.
- I ran two miles again today.
- The neighborhood I live in is fairly symmetrical, has sidewalks on both sides of the street, and the distance between roads is even and makes for easy calculations on runs.
- I got a free 'scoopie' scoop of German Chocolate Fudge frozen custard from Culver's.
- It felt normal to leave the library in the evening, walking to the parking lot with a bit of a drizzle.
- Tomorrow is Friday.
- I get to hear some good music and see some good friends on Saturday.
- I have a date tomorrow night.
- My walls are becoming colorful.

That's a pretty good start.

I cannot figure out why the number on the scale is increasing. I am eating better (I think) and running again. Time to run harder/farther. Or eat less. Hmm.

This post's title comes from a quote by Ben Hogan (I think he may have been a lefty):
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."

Take it to heart these next few weeks, self.
