Done something?

So, I have barely blogged. It hasn’t been a priority, but I really want to start doing it more regularly because you write about the small moments that are easily forgotten – the awesome moments.

So here is a summary of what I have done in the past few weeks that relate to my goals for 2012:

Do something scary:

I created myself a wonderful six-day-a-week morning exercise routine. Three small exercises every morning that include an ab, leg and sometimes arm workout. It’s a bit scary committing myself to six-days-a-week of a small (10-15 minute) routine. Scary because I enjoy it to much, me thinks!

Do something new:

Recently, I have been going for walks in the morning (occasionally). This isn’t technically new, as I used to walk with my mum in the mornings when I was younger. But, it is not something I have ever done in my adult life. It feels wonderful doing exercise in the morning – it gives me a burst of energy that lasts a decent amount of the day!

Do something fun:

I made playdough on Friday. For the first time since I started working as an early childhood teacher, I made playdough. I can’t believe it has taken me so long. But, I made some fantastic feeling playdough. Instead on colouring it, I put dye powder in the middle on small amounts and folded the playdough over so as the children kneaded the playdough it changed colour. I love exploration!

Do something sensible:

I got head butted by a kid yesterday. It really hurt. He feel on top of me, our heads smacking together. Sensibly, I helped him before I helped myself. He was fine after a few minutes of ice, and showed no signs on concussion. I wasn’t fine, even after 30 minutes of ice. I felt sick and tired for the rest of the day, but I was glad he was not hurt.

Do something regularly:

I have been reading so much the last few weeks. It could help that I am reading a book that I find really interesting – but what is going to help more is that I have bought the Hunger Games series and can not wait to hear it. From everything I have read online, so many people recommend reading the series.

Do something less:

I have spent less time having down time lately. On Sunday, after my shower, instead of lazing about watching tv, checking facebook, re-checking facebook, changing channel, checking facebook – I shut my bedroom and sat on my bed and read my book for a good hour and a half. It was luxury – ie. I shall repeat this fabulous activity on a regular basis

Joseph Kony

 

Make him famous, this year!

Watch.

I believe every child has the right to be safe, should be allowed the ability to be kind and be shown the way to be neat – three weird factors, but together I believe they can lead to a more peaceful future. How can we have a peaceful future when children are being forced to kill? They are not being taught love or kindness, they are being shown hate. A brighter, happier, peaceful future tomorrow, requires action today. Joseph Kony needs to be stopped.
