How do we chose our profile pictures
Checking through Social Media (Facebook) I see lots and lots of profile pics. I have a mixed age range of friends from teenagers right through and it amazes me the pics that we chose to put forward for the world to see.
From the teenage girl with her "selfie" looking pouty and possible showing cleavage, to the twenty something with their "look at me I'm in a couple" pose, to the family person with pics of their kids, to the "I love my pet" person. This is the image we chose to show the world, the first one they see when they see our name, and how much effort goes into picking it?
At the minute I have a cartoon up on my profile. Usually I have a pic of myself, or a random collage of a few pics I really love.
What am I saying with this?
At the minute I am declaring my love of Christmas, and possibly trying to annoy those baa humbug people out there! That is why I picked my profile image.
When I put up a collage its because these things have happened recently and I want to share them with everyone.
Or a pic of my wedding day when my anniversary comes round.
In all of this though, I try to pick images when I look good, and anyone else in the pic looks good too.
But I wonder sometimes does anyone else care about that. Look down the side of your facebook wall. Look at all those pics, that the individual has personally chosen to have as their profile image, are they looking good? Would you have chosen that image if you were them?
Just a thought.

There is no time like now, no better day than today
Thats it!
I have been FAR TOO LAX this summer. I looked back at pics from last year and I haven't changed a bit.
NO MORE.
I want to be fitter, be stronger, be healthier.
So I am commiting to exercising every day at least a half hour. Whether that is a class at the gym, a workout with weights or a run/walk I will be doing something every day.
I am committing to eating better. My diet has been terrible since the start of the summer and I can feel my clothes starting to get tight again.
I do not want that.
So from today I will be posting everything I eat and the exercise I do for the next four weeks.
It will be the kick up the ass I need to get me back on track.
Feel free to shout at me to encourage me, and to kick me when I slip.

A year ago, tomorrow
http://onegoodth1ngaday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/why-am-i-who-i-am.html
This is what I was feeling this time last year. Is it a good or a bad thing to have a blog where you can look back and see how you felt, what you were thinking?
I'm still not sure, but either way, here it is.
You know, in case you want to check it out.

What a weekend
Every week I have plans for what is happening at the weekend, whether they are plans to clean my house, or plans to party I know what I am going to do.
This past weekend was no different.
What I didn't know was how much fun I was going to have.
I was helping out with the Vikings, taking "Have A Go Archery".
Basically I spent the weekend with bows and arrows and taught kids, adults and everyone in b etween how to shoot a target.
And I rocked at it.
I had little tiny kids who could barely hold the bow, I had grown woman who had tried before and couldn't be taught how to do it, I had teenage boys who thought they knew better than I did. But every single one that came to me left with a smile on their face after hitting the target at least once.
I got soaked through when it rained and I got sunburnt when it was hot.
This was part of my do something to change someone's life challenge I set myself.
I taught people something. I gave kids (and adults) a great experience trying something new. I made people smile.
It was GREAT :-)
