Day 20

Today I am 20% of the way there and tomorrow it will be three weeks. I just completed my 10 things for the day. For some reason the last half of the day seems to go easier than the first half of the day. I think my 100 days will be up before I know it.

I practiced my Spanish with my computer program today . It feels like they cram so much in so fast. I was trying to remember the names of foods and the names of utensils today. I had fun practicing the piano today. I took three songs and mixed them up into one. I really liked it.  More organizing was done and some rearranging. I have been doing a lot more reading. It keeps me off the internet as much. It is easy to spend too much time on it, especially if you are curious and like to learn about everything.

Sometimes you can have too much information and it can get you all worked it. For instance looking up insects and diseases. I found a spider in the laundry room once that was very peculiar looking. I tried to kill it and it got away. I did not know where it went. But I was sure the spider knew where I was and it was just waiting for it's opportunity to bite me when I was not looking and infect me with its venom. I think I must have looked up spiders on the internet for two hours trying to see if it was deadly and of course during my little search I ran across all kinds of horrible things about spiders. It makes it hard to sleep peacefully. Every time the sheet moves on your leg you think it is that spider, then you throw back the blankets, grab a flashlight and you end up going on a hunt for this little man eater you are sure is there. After looking around and not finding anything you come to the conclusion that it is all in your head and you get back in bed and think you keep feeling things for the next half hour until you fall asleep.Why is it so easy to be terrified of something so tiny?


I am looking forward to my next 10 things tomorrow. It really is helping me more than I ever imagined. I am really curious to see what all I will have learned and accomplished at the end of 100 days .


"I, the Lord have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and  a light for the gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.   Isaiah 42: 6-7
