For a few months I have been putting all my change from my purchases into a special savings jar and today I counted up the coins. After just saving small bits of change over a few months I ended up with $56 total! This is perfect for extra spending money on my trip to Vancouver next week!
I am really excited for this trip with my friends. It will be my first time traveling with my friends, the first time without my bickering and stressful parents. I am mixing two of my favorite things in life, friendship and travel. It will be quite the adventure.
Meanwhile I have been probably over-preparing for the trip, but I am full of enthusiasm, so I have organized packing lists, itineraries, restaurant lists, and maps. I probably am exhausting my group, but they don't need to appreciate the things I make; I just create all this paperwork to fulfill some weird sort of obsession.
Back to the coins, it's amazing how much the little things count for in the end. This can apply so much in life. When we take small steps toward any big goal, the end outcome will often surprise us. I've been practicing my weapon form for my big black belt test this Friday, and each time I practice I don't feel like I am really improving, but compared to a few weeks ago, I am really proud of how much I have improved. A few more practice sessions and hopefully I will be almost perfect!
