After You
I know I’m addicted, I’ve admitted my obsession many a time but, my reaction surprised even me when I discovered my deader than dead Fitbit.
“SAY WHAT ?!???” I screeched as I screeched to a halt
& yes, it’s true.
I panicked.
I PANICKED
I have been tracking each and every step of mine for a few years now and this little, attached to my hip device has truly become a part of me and how, why and what I do
& when I discovered this house contained no fresh batteries to revive my loyal friend ?
Well.
Alrighty then.
I just won’t walk.
No wait, that’s silly because I have things to do and places to go.
Ok
okokokokokokok
I can do this.
I can take steps without my Fitbit.
Oh. Yes. I. Can.
Oh, no I couldn’t.
Turns out I waaaaaa-ed and griped and complained so much Husband offered up his Fitbit battery.
‘Here. Use mine. I’ll go to the store and grab more later” that Nicey declared
& whew !!
WHEW.
Just like that, my steps and my brain were back on track.
Which got me to thinking about habits.
Yes, habits.
About just how incredibly easy it is to fall into a habit.
It took me a whole two days back when I first began wearing my Fitbit, to make it me and who I wanted to become,
so, yeah
That was easy.
But, how’s about other habits ?
Like maybe offering a smile to that grumpy ol somebody I see every day ?
Or saying a daily Hello to those who need a daily Hello ?
Or being the person who does the ‘just because’, who holds the door, who beckons ‘after you …’
The helper, the giver, the doer ?
The sincere Please and Thank You.
How’s about trying to be the one who starts that Happy Train ?
Who gets that domino effect of kindness going ?
Who genuinely lives by “I will love my neighbor as I love myself” ?
Hey.
I can do that !
& you can do that too !!
I’m starting my brand new habit today.
THIS DAY
& I know, just like it was with my itty bitty Fitbit, it will be so very easy if I simply try.
Please.
Try.
Too.
🙂
