Day 10

 I am 10% of the way there ! Just 90 more days to go. Today was a little bit of a rough day but I got it all done. The last of my 10 things tonight was practicing my Spanish. The last couple of days I was struggling to remember new words I was practicing , but tonight I memorized ten more words in Spanish. I was so excited I could not stop smiling and I ran in the office and sat down and Said them all to Ken.

Doing my 10 things everyday has made me want to improve on other things too. I started taking my vitamins again yesterday. Hey, maybe that is why my brain was a little sharper tonight and I was able to memorize words easier, or maybe it was just that extra cup of coffee I had today. It is hard not to have that extra cup when nobody else is drinking it and you walk by the pot of coffee and it is just sitting there waiting for someone to pour it in their cup.

When I play the piano I am now just about as good with my left hand as I am with my right hand and it is getting pretty easy again, but I still have quite a ways to go. I really thought I was getting to old to pick up where I left off on anything and that I wouldn't be able to remember and that it was too late, but I have surprised myself. It is easier than I thought and very enjoyable.

Sometimes it is easy to believe those negative things we have told ourselves for so long . I am now starting to rethink other things that I have told myself it is too late to do. I am still really glad I decided to do this even if it requires a little more discipline everyday. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner, but I am going to choose to look forward instead of looking back.


Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path strong.  Proverbs 3:5-6
