2013 successes
11/22/2013
It's been another one of those tough years. But still, there were some successes.
- Walked (1-3 kilometers, depending on which bus stop I got off) to work most days, even in the brutal cold.
- Got new living room furniture.
- Got a new car; Nissan Altima.
- Trained Peewee to be a good boy. He was a good boy all along, but now he's well trained.
- The book club is still going strong and I enjoy my club mates.
- Enjoyed my university studies.
- Read 29 books.
- Sponsored five Compassion kids.
- Quit my Executive Assistant job. It was time, but I thoroughly enjoyed it for a few years and learned lots.
- Had family counselling a good part of the year. I'm not sure it really helped all that much, but we did it.
- Responded well to several significant problems with kids.
- Deepened my friendship with Sarah.
- Did well with Scripture memorization.
- Consistently had morning time with God; it's always the best part of my day.
- Started flossing regularly.
- Cut way back on wheat intake once I discovered how it makes me tired and foggy.
- Enjoyed my life at the apartment very much.
- Went most of the year with no debt.
It's too easy to focus on the negatives. Reviewing the positives of the year is a great mental adjustment. It has been a difficult year, but I look at those successes and I feel instant gratitude. I have so many good things in my life, even when things are tough.
