Day 29

I have completed my tasks for the day. It was very challenging to do 10 things today. I did not want to do anything once I got home from work. The only thing that sounded appealing to me tonight was curling up in a blanket in front of our fireplace and reading a book or watching an old movie. My leg has been hurting since one o'clock this morning and I have been chilled all day. In my mind two good reasons to me to do nothing  , but I would be extremely disappointed in myself if I caved in so I did my ten things.

I practiced my Spanish I did not learn any new words tonight. I went over the ones I have memorized and tried some new ones. I enjoyed practicing the piano this evening. I feel like I am making a lot of progress. The piano is  usually the first of my ten things I start with. It helps me unwind, especially today. Today was a bitter sweet day for me. Today is exactly four years since my Kidney Cancer Surgery on November 28, 2007. It is bitter because it was the most horrific thing I have been through, but sweet at the same time because they caught it early. Every year on this day since my surgery I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster. I think next year I will plan a really fun event on that day so I will have a new memory for November 28.

I did some decorating which was a cheery thing, I worked on algebra , read my books, gave my plants some TLC, did some organizing and ended with painting my toe nails shiny red. Tomorrow will be an easier day.In case any one has counted my things and noticed there is not always 10 things listed. I decided not to list the things that are  personal to me or things that I do for others.I just thought I would mention that in case anyone was wondering how I can be a book keeper when it looks like I can't count to 10. I cannot go to bed without completing my 10 things it would ruin my experiment :(

I look forward to my next ten things tomorrow. I will try to get a little more creative.

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.   Psalm 4:8
