This past week, I had a moment–a joyous, Oh-Mah-Gawd moment–that I’ve never experienced before. Someone actually handed me money for a writing project I had done for them. I wanted to cry. I may have cried, just a little. A couple of years ago, I did some resume and letter work for someone. It was for a friend, and I wasn’t going to charge her. She needed a job. We worked on it a few times over several weeks because she was applying for several different jobs. On her last visit, she presented me with this:

And So It Begins (Orig: March 3, 2008)
Today marked the beginning of the Baha’i Fast, a spiritual practice which I first encountered last year.
I don’t have any of my numbers handy — my starting weight and things like that, but since I’m such a fan of important dates, I thought this would be a perfect day to begin this blog.
Even if there’s only 20 minutes left in the day.
I really didn’t accomplish much of anything today. I worked, slept, and spent some time with some out-of-town friends.
I also left my medicine at work this morning. That was sort of surprising, and I wasn’t going to bother with it (conceivably unwise, but factual nonetheless) until I remembered that my vitamins were in it, too.
I’ve been making monthly health goals — specific practices which I adopt each month in order to completely create a new healthy lifestyle one or two steps at a time. This month it’s drinking 6 cups of water a day and taking vitamins.
They’re not so much goals as they are commitments. Which is why I found myself, at approximately 10 tonight, driving to work to get my medicine bag. Not because it had medicine in it, but because it had my vitamins in it.
And my second day into this particular commitment is way too early to go and break it.
In the Beginning… (05 January 2008)
…there was insanity.
While I don’t understand Livejournal at all, it was incredibly important for me to start this blog today, 05 January 2008.
It’s a big day, you see.
