So I haven't blogged in a year, and just as I suspected, no one noticed but me. Since I started this for myself anyway, I figured I'd give it another go, and no one would be the wiser. My goal was always just to document the simple pleasures of everyday life so I could look back with more gratitude for all that have. I tend to be someone who needs reminders.
After watching the documentary Half the Sky this past week, I am truely reminded of all the gifts that have been laid out before me. Most of which, like my freedom, and equality were handed down by those who I will never have the chance to meet, and did not actually get to benefit from what they struggled to achieve. This was a reminder to not only have greater appreciation for all that have, but also to help those who are struggling in some way.
My plan for after quitting my job that I was unhappy at, was to dedicate my time to a worthwhile cause. While I am doing that once a week at an animal shelter, I know I have more to give. This has been further proven by my general lack of motivation over the last few weeks. So once again I am trying to capture those fleeting cherished moments in my own tiny corner of the Internet, and also will be trying to be more dedicated to the rest of the world, or at least my own community.
If you haven't heard of Half the Sky, check it out!
