First and goals

Happy Super Bowl!

It is the only day in America when it is appropriate to use football puns and I fully intend to take advantage of this.

Yesterday I competed in the local 10K run and won! (first pun) Most of the fast people were probably at brunch but nonetheless I was proud. As a trophy I received a copy of the race organizer's book- a self help book about achieving perfection. Hm

I think about all of my goals (pun) and how I achieve them. Or rather my interpretation of a perfect life for the time being. Instead of idling through the book's advise on pretty much advancing my modeling/acting career, I remember my very wise best friend's advice- clean your microwave.

So at first it may seem odd, and even distracting, but like any trusting, and maybe gullible, friend, I listen and do it. She suggests this so that I get rid of all those small menial things that annoy me so that my mind is not so clouded with them and that I have a clear mind in working towards those goals whether it be to learn a song on the ukulele or even finding a job or learning Spanish.

It worked. That 10k felt good. And now I'm at the carwash for the next achievements to be had Whether it was a gift of the magi, a wish on a shooting star that traveled lightyears, or even luck, I'll thank my friend and the microwave.
