Day 42

The evening is here and I have finished my ten things . Today is six weeks since I started my experiment. It does not feel like it has been that long. I think I will be a little sad when I reach day one hundred. It is still amazing how  little changes can have such an impact on you. I had no idea when I started what a difference it would make to me. I was tired of feeling overwhelmed and feeling like my physical ailments controlled my life. I was so worn out  and I just wanted a little balance in my life and time to do things I enjoy and to spend with loved ones and to still feel like I was accomplishing what I needed too

 I had given up on that ever happening. I would try so hard and I prayed about it all the time. I felt like I would work myself to exhaustion and then just barely recover just to do it all over again. It was a vicious cycle I repeated for years. Out of desperation I decided I will try small steps just to see if it will do anything at all. So I came up with a plan ( with God's help) and decided to give it a try and to be honest if Ken would not have put my blog on Facebook like he did I may not have stuck with it this long.

When I had so many people tell me they read my blog every day I felt like I had a whole bunch of accountability partners to help me stick to it. I have found through the years when ever I have been successful at reaching a goal it has always been when I have had friends to help hold me accountable. God created us to need each other. He has given us all different gifts so we can help each other and work together to fulfill his plan.

Today I practiced my Spanish and the piano. I read my books and studied algebra. I went outside and took photos right before the sun went down. I did a little organizing in our office and I did a puzzle to sharpen my mind. I made one earring, it was a little challenging. Tomorrow I will create its mate and I drew up plans to make a bird house. I want it to be two stories with a wrap around porch 3/4 of the way with white railings. I am going to paint it  aqua blue with white trim and put a little swing( like a swinging perch) on the porch . I was going to hot glue a tiny little pot on the porch with a little plant in it. I can picture it in my head. That is my plan anyway. I will have to look in the garage tomorrow and see what kind of lumber we may have around.I look forward to my next ten things tomorrow.

If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
