Eerren's New Project: Everyday Modest!

So...I haven't been feeling that great lately, and i recently came across this book of Everyday Happy 365 Ways to a Better You by Jenny Hare. I've been reading it and it's a great little book of different ways to be "everyday happy." So, here is my idea: I will be posting everyday, for the next year, each day a new way on how to be "modest," since we are Modest Fly Art Studio Gallery!
modest - 1. having or showing a moderate opinion of one's own value, abilities, achievements, etc.; 2. behaving, dressing, speaking, etc. in a way that is considered proper or decorous; 3. moderate or reasonable; 4. quiet and humble in appearance, style, etc.
My objective for this project is to share my daily experiences and give a tip a day on having a brighter and more positive outlook on life and its possibilities. Posting every single day for the next year is a huge commitment for me, but I am so excited to take it on and share my thoughts and experiences with all of you.
Today, I read somewhere: "Life is a lemon, and I want my money back!" (for those who don't get that quote right away, like my sister, it's referring to a lemon as in a lemon car that is returned for a full refund) I know everybody's busy with life and all that it consists of...and in the midst of it all, we, sometimes, lose track of ourselves. The smallest gesture in your day can go unnoticed and sometimes, those gestures are what keep us grounded. We usually don't have time to stop and pay attention to our surroundings, and the recognition of life's occurrences is what I hope to accomplish with this blog in the next year. My intention is not to turn the Modest Fly Art Gallery blog into a self-help site, but to express the different ways we, as artists, students, employees, the unemployed, bosses, teachers, moms, dads, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, and most important of all, lovers, need to nourish ourselves in order to maintain happiness, creativity, and self-expression, while LIFE happens!!!

I told my fiance about this project, and I said to him, "how about if no one follows it?" sounding worried, and he said,"well, are you doing this for yourself or are you doing it for everybody else?" I replied, "myself," sounding very confident, and he replied, "then, why does it matter!" So... I guess, what I'm trying to say is that I'm dedicating myself to this because I want to accomplish this goal I've set for myself. I hope to have readers and feedback from all of you, but, if not, I'll still be here anyway. My first official post will be starting tomorrow, February 2nd, 2010. Promise to keep you posted !!! Love, Eerren
