I have a lot of goals. So many that it's impossible to keep track of them, let alone accomplish them. Add to this the fact I have a tendency to beat myself up over the smallest of "failures" and you have a Keri who is constantly in a state of Not Good Enough. I wondered what it would feel like to live up to my own expectations - my somewhat realistic ones, that is - for even a short amount of time.
Starting on April 1, the Month of Good was born.
For one month, I will be good. I get to define what "good" is; I even have a list. It's supposed to be difficult, in fact, nigh impossible to achieve. I'm doing this publicly to keep me honest (let's face it... I would have quit by now otherwise), and come equipped with a blog, YouTube channel, and of course, Twitter feed (collect them all!). Even sitting here on Day 3, I've already fallen behind on blogging and getting enough sleep, because let's face it, when given the choice between karaoke and sleep, I'm going to choose karaoke every single time.
At the end of this experiment, I hope to identify the things that make me the happiest and most fulfilled, and finally be able to chuck the rest (well... at least be able to feel somewhat okay about chucking the rest). It's an exercise in priorities, choices, and control.
Wish me luck. I'm definitely going to need it.
We had a great time at the BayVox meetup last night. I hope I got to meet most of you - unfortunately, I'm a little antisocial and have a hard time going up to people and introducing myself. What turned out to be kind of strange was having to introduce myself a couple of times like this: "Hi, I'm Keri. [pause] Um, 'Clamhead.'" Perhaps it would have been best to pick a user name that was a little less odd when said out loud.
We went to karaoke after the meetup. I'd never done karaoke before - and turned out to be a karaoke whore. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be.
Here are some pictures from last night:
