It is safe to say that spring is in full swing. The trees are budding, the grass is becoming more green and the outdoor projects that we all plan during the winter months are finally beginning. This means life around the house is increasingly busy. Most of my time during the week is spent out and about, this being said I am not at home for any extended period time aside from sleeping. There is a lot that gets done around the house that I don't contribute to. This became apparent to me this lately and I am committed to changing this fact. I have been asking more often what I can do to help and just taking the initiative more often, even if I am tired from the day's events. I am getting more creative in how I can maximize my time with tasks that I can do at home while maintaining a steady training regiment. With time and practice, it is coming along.
I feel like I owe it to Mel's parents, they are letting us stay here for next to nothing monetarily so I need to pull my weight around here somehow. In my opinion, when you receive something from someone there has to be something given back in return, otherwise it eventually loses its value. It is nice to be nice, but if the person you are helping out doesn't show any kind of appreciation for it, you are less likely to do it again.
I have been taking steps to ensure that I appreciate those around me, appreciating the understanding and patience that my family, friends and peers show me. This is certainly another opportunity to see how much I can improve my ability to balance all the aspects of my life, I am thoroughly enjoying the challenge.
Take care everyone.
