I had a huge amount of boring, repetitive work to do tonight that left just enough brain power available for an easy-watching movie. Nothing too complicated and nothing that necessitates watching too closely. For tonight's viewing, I chose 'The Yes Man.' If you haven't seen it, it's about a man, burned by divorce, who goes to a seminar that teaches the power of the word 'yes.' He becomes bound by oath say yes to anything he's asked, and suddenly finds himself really living life.
I found that concept really interesting. Setting aside the things we say 'no' to because they go against our convictions, how many things do we, ok fine, I, say no to just out of laziness? Or, besides for laziness, out of a reluctance to move out of my safe zone? Who knows what we could be missing out on? The more we live life, the more opportunities there are to experience things and learn from them. I think I'm going to start keeping track of interesting things that happen to me because I said yes. After all, I think there's a world of possibilities out there just waiting to hear a 'yes.'

On the topic of saying yes, are your financial statements done?
Actually... I found this really inspiring and decided to start changing my life around... a few days ago. Meh.
