The past couple of days I haven't really felt awesome. You know, it is cool to get colds this time of year. It has made me realize how juvenile I can be at times. Yesterday I went for a short walk in the rain because I wanted to but today I didn't talk to someone I was sitting next to at church because "I'm too tired." I guess I just realized that when I am feeling a little off I have a ready made excuse for anything I don't want to do, even if I'm fully capable. Not only do I have an excuse, but I use it.
It reminds me of a time in the MTC (explained a couple of posts ago) when I was recovering from a cold and I kept coughing, especially whenever someone asked me a hard question. It very nearly became a habit. Cough if I don't know the answer.... luckily someone called me out on it and I stopped but really sometimes I'm kind of a wimp. What is weird is I don't think I generally make that kind of lame excuse... I just do it when I'm a little sick.
In other news, this is the first post of a new year, and the end of the old. I thought about writing something about goals or a year in review or some such thing but I couldn't put my finger on anything concrete, so you get this instead. However, when I was thinking about that sort of thing I reread a few of my posts from this year (sometimes I'm pretty smart but I really should proofread, and I've learned some cool things) and I was surprised at how much the post from last year from around this same time is actually fairly similar to how I'm feeling at the moment. Maybe not much has really changed.
