Doing my part to make the world a better place—whether it be by a total epiphany or a simple smile—I've found a hobby in leaving simple Post-it notes. On these Post-its are written words of kindess, love, and encouragement, in hopes that it may bring a little light to whoever may find it. Since this objective took flight, I've additionally enjoyed simply sharing daily occurances that make life beautiful. Do take what you can from my silly, messy, and scatterbrained story. If nothing else, may it encourage you to embrace your own.

Blogging? Oh that's right, I do!

Why hello!

Thought I'd fallen off the edge of the planet? Mentally, probably. Buuut, no, not physically... I just took a little breaky from the blog world for awhile.

Towards the end of last week, I began to realize that placing Post-its was becoming right on the verge of stressful. I don't think it was actually causing any anxiety or anything... But I was feeling guilty when I'd forget to put one and letting it consume a little bit too much of ME. And if there's one thing I've ever learned is that you have to help yourself in order to help others.

So, I think I'm going to revise a little bit in hopes of making sure this hobby stays meaningful (Not that is hasn't been thus far—I've LOVED it—but as a prevention step as to not become bored with it.) If I lose the passion I've had behind it this whole time, then it's really not worth half as much.

I think aiming for a Post-it everyday is a little high. Any thoughts? I probably will continue to put one often, almost daily, but on those days where I really don't have any need to go to the gas station/grocery store or other public place, I won't guilt-trip myself into putting up a Post-it. Deal? Deal.

However, today I did need to make a grocery run... And had a pretty enjoyable time putting up a few notes at the store:

I really didn't plan the ice cream touch... But sort of funny, huh? I was just looking for a glass door with little condensation, so the Post-it would stick... Ironic.

What would this blog be w/o a bathroom Post-it every once in a while? And, for my own 2 cents, I just really like that message. People always underestimate how appreciated they are.

Well, there's my Post-it venting for the day. Just had to get my priorities, as far as the notes go, straight. It's not about quantity, it's about quality.

Have a fabulous Sunday evening and a super good Monday!
