Small Doses

I don't know about you, but sometimes I am a lot more talk that I am action...especially when it comes to new things.

A few weeks ago I was talking to a colleague about some of the sightseeing I haven't done yet around Nebraska. Believe it or not, there are actually a lot more things to see out here than corn and cows. Since some of you will refuse to believe me without proof, here are a few things we've got goin' for us out here.

- The Homestead National Monument
- Chimney Rock
- The Willa Cather Museum
- A lot of awesome state parks
- The Kool-Aid Museum (Yeah, that's right, it was invented here. Booyah.)

All of those things (and others) are on my list of future endeavors. You know, those "someday" things.

But when is "someday" going to be here? Obviously it hasn't really hit anytime in the past 4 months that I've been here.

Slowly I'm gaining my footing. I'm getting more adventurous. I'm challenging myself to rise beyond the "someday" to make it happen. Let's face it: sometimes it just won't happen if we aren't deliberate. Just look at how many cleaning or organizing projects get blown off until a "rainy day." How many rainy days do you spend doing plenty of other things instead? Yeah, me too.

It's just takes baby steps, just like in What About Bob?
