In an earlier blog, I wrote about Don Miller's book and living a better story. Last night was one of my first steps to doing that. I decided (quite spontaneously and without much warning) that I wanted to hang with my bestie Melissa last night. I picked her up and we headed to a farmer's market by her house. After that we went over to a Starbucks and sat on a comfy couch. I shared with her my dilemma of not having a whole lot to do this summer and I didn't want it to be boring. I've been thinking about Don's book ever since I finished it and I really do want to live a better story. SO, Mel and I began to think up fun, silly, or crazy things we can do this summer. I grabbed a page of the newspaper sitting on the table next to us to write on and to my delighted surprise it had both the funnies and the obituaries! Score! Skateboarding, flying kites(her first time), playing checkers with an old man in a park, and taking pictures of strangers are just a few things we're planning on doing this summer. I want her to get a tattoo, so she decided for henna. She wants me to die my hair, so I'm going to do temporary. Silly stuff but still fun.
What are you going to do to live a better story?
