Days 21-23: Catching Up...

I've hit a wall of laziness!! This week has been uber unproductive, so I'm deeming today a "make up day". I don't know what it is but I have been lovin the lazy life this week. Just one more week of this project left and I want to finish strong. So here's a recap of the last few days and me making up for the unproductivity of it all.

Tuesday's RAOK was 'Make a Donation' so I took a box to DI (our local thrift store) and our extra plastic bags to Target. It was great for me too, that box has been sitting in the trunk of my car for a year or so. It was good to finally get rid of it and I hope that someone can use the jeans and t-shirts inside. And plastic grocery bags are another of my pet peeves. I don't know why some stores think each item you buy needs its own plastic bag but it kind of drives me crazy. I love Target for so many reasons, but especially because I can take my huge pile of plastic bags and give them away and they recycle them. What a great idea!



Wednesday's act of kindness was to give compliments. It was fun to see how one simple compliment could really brighten someone's day and I am honestly surrounded with such amazing people, it was hard to just pick one compliment per person!

No run on Monday or Tuesday made Wednesdays run extra hard and mentally tough, but I pushed through and ran two miles Wednesday morning.  That makes the total down to only 8 more miles to go!! Yay!

I was also able to go to the Oquirrah Mountain Temple on Wednesday night. It is such a beautiful temple, love it! So now the temple names total is up to 17, only 13 more left there.


 
 
Today's random act of kindness is to SMILE.  This one is kind of letting myself off the hook and have an easy day, cause I'm a smiler by nature.  I don't know what it is but smiling is just something that comes natural to me. I'm pretty happy go lucky and genuinely happy most of the time and there's no hiding it on my face. I feel like I'm pretty lucky to be one of those people, rather than someone who naturally frowns and so today I'm sharing my smile with the world. :) It is funny how many people notice a smile and how it can put us all at ease sometimes.  In the words of Buddy the Elf.... "I like smiling, Smiling is my favorite."
