Bad habits

Do you have a bad habit that you never seem to break? Something you should learn is bad for you, but yet you do it anyway? For me one I do all the time is staying up too late at night. All week I have told myself that I would go bed earlier - especially the last 2 nights since I was so tired. And here it is after 1am, and I have somewhere to be at 9:30 in the morning, and I am just now writing this blog, and then I still have to get ready for bed.

I don't know what it is about going to bed at a "normal" hour that is so hard for me, but this is a something I do over and over and over again, depriving myself of much needed sleep. In the grand scheme of things, it's not that big a problem because on days when I don't have a specific schedule I can sleep in to catch up. Which may be a part of the reason I am never super motivated to change my habits.

I once read a quote that said something about good habits being as easy to form as bad ones, but I haven't really found that to be true in my life. And bad habits are definitely hard to break. This is one that I think will take me a while. But I can at least work on it by going to bed now. Goodnight!

I am in love with the new Tenth Avenue North single, "Losing."  If you haven't heard it yet, I highly recommend checking it out. This part particularly sticks out to me:  "Why do we think that hate's gonna change their heart? We're up in arms over wars that don't need to be fought But pride won't let us lay our weapons on the ground We build our bridges up, but just to burn them down We think pain is owed apologies and then it'll stop But truth be told it doesn't matter if they're sorry or not Freedom comes when we surrender to the sound Of Mercy and Your Grace, Father, send Your angels down (singin') Oh, Father, won't you forgive them? They don't know what they've been doing (oh, no) Oh, Father, give me grace to forgive them Cause I feel like the one losing I feel like I've been losing" (Emphasis mine) After my blog post the other day, I was thinking about what we, as the church, are doing....

Someone else's thoughts...

I read this today and found it insightful. Hope you enjoy as well! http://www.youthspecialties.com/blog/did-you-just-say-flakes1 Just a reminder that it is important to think and ask questions before we react because things are not always what they seem at first glance...

In need of ideas...

So today it is 45 days until my 30th birthday... or as I have referred to it sometimes, the 1st anniversary of my 29th birthday. But the 6th graders found that confusing and thought it meant I was 58, so that was not ideal... Anyway, the point behind bring all this up is I want to come up with a list of 30 things to accomplish in the 30 days leading up to my birthday. It works out well because exactly 30 days before my birthday is the quarter marathon. Other things already on the list are party like I'm 29, and moving to my new apartment. I took the plunge and joined pinterest today, so I have also been getting ideas there, though I have not started my goal list yet. Some thoughts I have from pinterest include trying a new recipe and creating some of my own art work. But I need more ideas - so let's brainstorm! What ideas do you have?
