My friend called me once for job advice. This wasn't the first time she asked me about the scenario. So instead of answering I asked her a question, 'You know exactly what I am going to advise you to do, and we both know you are going to do the opposite. So why are you asking?'
Most people aren't really asking for advice. If I want to hear something I ask a certain person. I have people for: career advice, relationship, guy perspective, friendship, no bull shit, positivity, support, and that friend who you can call who will go out and help you forget everything. I know these things before I call. I knowingly pick my advice. So don't change what you tell me or it will throw my whole system off tilt.
I find myself starting to do this with my doctors. The different opinions is frustrating; however, I am starting to use it to my advantage. I love to exercise and be active. My first doctor put crazy limits on that. The specialist in NYC told me to exercise everyday - even when it is painful. Most importantly he told me I can ride my bike again!
Because I constantly need goals and projects I have come up with a great idea! I love getting mail. I love writing letters. It is a lost artform. You may not know this but not everyone has mail delivery. My parents have to go to a post office to collect their mail. So each day I will write a letter then walk a mile to the post office to mail it.
Today I passed a tractor, two men on a golf cart, and an old man sitten on his front porch. Best believe that by the end of the week I will know his name and his partial life story.
If you would like a letter send me your address!
Sadie I love your blog! it keeps my work day mildly entertaining. I am sure I can locate your parents address but if figure its quicker/easier to get it from you. I would love to send you a letter if you pass along your address. Sending good vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteSadie, I want a letter SO badly, we should absolutely add snail mail to our methods of correspondence.
ReplyDeletemildly entertaining? Please... Sadie's humor breaths life into me each morning.
