Day 1

I made it! Last night when I went to bed I was determined that today would be day 1. When I came home today  everything hurt and I was so exhausted I didn't think I could make it up the stairs. I told myself I can start tomorrow, there is no way I can do one more thing today. I knew if I did not start today I would be really disappointed in myself.

I decided to start with something I love the most. Music ! I took piano lessons 30 years ago and I was starting to get it down pretty good and then I quit. Sitting inside with an old lady playing the piano and eating cookies when you are 12 is really hard when it is sunny outside and you know your friends are going swimming. It felt like torture because I absolutely love to swim, but as I got older I always regretted not finishing my lessons. So today practicing the piano was the first of my 10 things.

Completing ten things was a little challenging, but it was very rewarding. I actually feel better now than when I started and I found quite a few interesting things I forgot I had. I found a box of tea that a customer bought me in Egypt and brought back to me . It is still unopened. I couldn't find an expiration date. I wonder if it is still good. I was afraid to try it. I have trouble sleeping and she told me to be very careful and not to put too much in my cup because it was very potent and I would be cleaning the house for three days straight. It is still sealed in the box, but I am thinking my house could use a pretty good cleaning. I am looking forward to my next 10 things tomorrow .


I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me . Philippians 4:13
