Well I went to Knoxville this weekend and as expected, it was wonderful! I love seeing my friends and there's so much to do there. I finally made it to Crossings and I really liked it, but seeing all the JBC people made me miss Seymour Heights. I was feeling sorry for myself for missing the JBC community when I realized that I've been looking at this the wrong way. I should be grateful for time to myself. Instead of sitting in front of the TV thinking my life sucks, I could be riding my bike, journaling, writing letters, catching up on my list of books, or doing one of the other things I've always wanted to do but never got the chance. Instead of whining that I have no friends I should remember that just because I don't have any friends in Morristown (yet), I still have great friends all around the world, and even some only an hour away! With this new attitude I am determined to stop feeling sorry for myself and start doing some new things:
1. I want to get more physical activity. I'm going to ride my bike everyday & explore my new neighborhood. The only exception is if I get home after 7.
2. I'm limiting TV time to an hour a day- an hour & a half if I watch Jeopardy!
3. Instead of sitting around lazy, I'm going to start writing letters to all the people I mean to keep in touch with but keep putting it off- people from home , JBC, & scattered elsewhere.
4. I'm going to spend more time daily praying & journaling.
Just because I'm alone right now doesn't mean I'm pathetic. I want to be one of those interesting people and this is an excellent opportunity to explore myself. I'm excited!
