So... I've decided.

Okay... I was having trouble deciding what exactly I wanted to use this blog for. I journal all the time so my most intimate thoughts go there. Sorry people, my deep secrets are for my eyes only. I don't have much to write about day to day. This stage of my life is pretty humdrum (work, eat, sleep, socialize when I feel like it, go to school, worry about money, etc). So, thats out. I love sharing photos, but those aren't that interesting either.
Anywho... this is what I have decided. I will pick a topic once a day (more like once every other day when I get down to it) and write about it. I will also include what I like to call "smile sightings." This is something I learned from my Aunt Lisa. You take a second out of your day to tell somebody about something throughout the day that you saw, or heard, that made you smile. Need an example? I saw this old man walking down the sidewalk along Lincoln Way (one of the busy streets in Ames). Doesn't seem that interesting until I looked a little closer. He was an adorable old man (if you know me... you know I LOVE the elderly) and he was carrying a back pack. It isn't every day that you see that. I imagined that he just decided to take a walk that day (whether he had a destination in mind or not) and took his back pack with him. He might have a water bottle in there or something. I can't explain really why it made me smile, but it did.
So thats the deal. I will include other random things as they come, too. I guess I will start tonight! I already have a weeks worth of topics.
