Day 6

It is now day 6. I would love to say today was easy once I got going, but today that was not the case. All of my 10 things felt like a challenge today and I did not feel up to any of them. It is not because I have lost interest I just had a very physically challenging day and I kind of spread my 10 things out through the whole day so it felt like I would never get done. I also did a lot of running around in the middle of the day and wore myself out and then I let my blood sugar get too low this afternoon which did not help at all.

I learned another Spanish word today. I have been finding myself speaking Spanish words in my head off and on all day and  even at  night when I wake up. It is the same as listening to a favorite song too much. it plays over and over in your head. Spanish is one thing I will continue after my 100 days. I was going through and organizing another drawer and I ran across a letter that was wrote to me from one of the ladies that worked in an orphanage that I use to go to in Mexico over 10 years ago. I don't remember what it says. I know some of the words but not enough to understand the whole letter. I will have to look up all the words. We became friends on one of my trips there . Her son Miguel spoke and read English quite well. He would translate for us when we had a lot we wanted to say to each other. I can still picture her in my mind. I wanted to talk to her so bad but I only knew about thirty or forty words. We worked together sometimes and we would try talking with our hands to each other when we didn't have anyone around to translate and we would end up laughing hysterically. Just remembering her makes me want to continue with my Spanish.

Even though today was a little hard , I am still glad I did it and I can go to bed with no regrets. I may not have control over all my health problems or difficult circumstances that arise occasionally but I do have control over weather I make the most of my day or not.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4
