I would say that blogging and 30-day challenges are not really my forte.

On the plus side, today I ran 5km without stopping!!!!! It was so awesome. I've been working so long for that one. I have another 5km race on Sunday too :)

We also bought a mobile... not on my list, but should've been. So my life is now full of painting and laying floors and thinking about how to interior decorate. And schoolwork. So, so much schoolwork.

And so I am now going to go get a shower and do some schoolwork so that hopefully I will have some time to paint tonight!

Oh yeah, I want to change my do a 30-day challenge goal to use cue cards for daily goal setting. Like a daily to-do list kind of thing in a better format than my current one (white board), as I can save them and check my progress if I ever want to.

Love.

Day O3 → Something you have to forgive yourself for.

This one is tricky. I don't really know what I have to forgive myself for. I guess I still need to forgive myself for settling for 2.5 long years.. but at the same time, I am glad I did that or else I might have missed out on what I have now. I really believe that everything works out just how it should in the end, and I don't believe in skipping steps. Everything that I did got me to where I am right now, and I am very happy with life right now.

One thing though - once when I worked at a daycare, a child was crying and very upset and a co-worker told me to leave her and ignore her. This was a child that cried frequently, and I did what I was told, but it really bothered me. Later, my mom told me that this child hadn't been crying to be annoying, but she was crying because she was genuinely upset. And I just left her there alone. So now I try and be an advocate for kids that others want to ignore and give up on, and I try and give kids a chance when no one else will. But I still feel really bad for Delaney.

Day O2 → Something you love about yourself

I love how reasonable I am... I really am quite reasonable and rational and level-headed. I can think through almost anything. I am also exceedingly patient, most of the time.
I also made a huge post before about all the things I love about me, so you can go read that one if you want to know more about what I love about myself ;)

Day O1 → Something you hate about yourself

Something I hate about myself -

I am willpowerless, basically. Hence the inability to lose weight, eat well, exercise enough. Keep my house clean. Do the dishes and make my bed daily. Or maybe I just don't enough enough motivation? I always start out great but never stick with anything. I just miss having drive and determination!

I would say I hate my bum too, but I know that it's my own fault and not something that I couldn't change if I was driven enough to do it.
