"I'm Just Getting More Awesome"

This e-card I saw on facebook is the motivation behind my "60 Things in 60 Days."

As of late, it feels as though my life has become stagnant. Monotonous. I wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to bed. Repeat x4. Don't get me wrong, I love my job (and the people with whom I work). More often than not, I don't know what I am going to walk into at 8 o'clock in the morning. That being said, I'd like to lead an even more exciting life outside of work. Yes, I go out with family and friends on the weekends, but that's only if they're free. Lately, it seems as though they haven't been as "free" as they have been in the past. Let's face it, our lives are changing. We're growing older. I log onto facebook, and there it is... Susie is flashing new bling on her left hand. Martha is posting a sonogram. Larry just closed on a house. While I am happy and excited for everyone, I want some excitement, too. Honestly, a part of me is sad that when my best friend calls and asks me, "What's new?" my response is almost always the same... "nothing."

So, after a little talking with some friends and a lot of reflecting, I've decided that my "theme" for the summer is going to be "60 Things in 60 Days." Starting today, and for the 59 days that follow, I will be doing/trying something new or different each and every day. Now, don't expect me to do big and crazy things 7 days a week... like jump out of a plane or swim the English Channel. While I intend on trying a few "big" things to add some zest to my life, I'm mostly looking to do things differently, to learn about myself, and to become "better." Maybe I'll put milk in my coffee instead of cream in an attempt to be healthier. Maybe I'll take a cooking class to make my meals more edible. Whatever that "different thing" may be, I intend on documenting it here. If anything, my hope is just to be a little more "awesome" by the end of my 60 days. Enjoy!!!
