Day 4

Only 96 days to go! I even got my 10 things done by 5:00 today instead of 8:00. Only working half days on Thursdays made that possible. The other alternative is to wake up about two hours earlier but that does not appeal to me at all .Each day is getting a little easier, it is starting to feel more like something I want to do instead of something I am making myself do, and another thing I have noticed is that I have not felt overwhelmed by the end of the day the last couple days .I feel like I can relax and feel good about it instead of guilty.This has turned out to be a lot better for me than I thought it would. I originally thought why 10 things? Why not just a couple things for a total of 100 minutes?  I thought with just a couple things I might get bored and by doing 10 things everywhere I go I can see progress made or something fun I am doing. It makes me feel like I am getting more done even if takes several days longer to get one those things completed.

My 13 year old son even joined in with me while I was practicing Spanish today. He would try to read the words to me while I would tell him what they mean and pronounce them for him. He says he wants to take Spanish next year in school . I am able to play the piano again without looking at the keys. I have more earings to pick from in the morning because I matched them all up. My cupboards are getting even more organized and my deck is starting to look half way decent again. I bought succulents this summer and just love them, they are interesting looking, there is quite a variety and they are perfect for the person that loves their precious plants but often forgets to water them. Yes, that would be me.

Today when I got done with my 10 things I was even looking around for something else I wanted to do. I really can't wait to reach one hundred days to see what all has really been accomplished . I will probably continue to do it.

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. Psalm 29:11
