Random Musing

I had a random thought today that felt worth sharing....

For a long time, I always had someone to (presumably, at least) help keep me accountable-- not to any one thing in particular, just to everything... in a big, general sense. I came to rely on that so heavily, even though it's obvious now that the accountability I needed to be held to wasn't always there, that I've just assumed for the last 6 months or so that I needed to find someone else to help me with it... Thinking about this yesterday made me realize two things that make me pretty happy:

1) I don't need to have someone else to do it for me, I'm learning to not just hold myself accountable to the standards I've set for myself and my life but also to enjoy being the one to do it.

2) I have some really amazing friends that, should I fail at holding myself accountable (at least in most situations, ones they could know about), wouldn't hesitate to point it out to me, even if I might not like it. Having people like that in my life makes me feel incredibly lucky (this seems to be a common theme lately, haha!)

Ok, that was it! I'm really enjoying this whole blogging thing... :)
