This is an awesome post.
1. I value friends who are honest, supportive, fun to hang with, and who value personal growth
2. I work on this one every day -- but have not had a date with myself in a long time. I will set one this week!
3. In the last 6 months I have read several good books, cut WAY back on TV (and don't miss it), worked out regularly, and joined TFP
4. My mission: be open to new opportunities; nurture those around me; take care of my body and my mind; grow intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally; learn something new everyday; present my best side to my family and partner; and focus on the positive.
(This is basically it, although some of the exact wording may change year to year.)
5. As a teacher, a mother, and a partner I am continually identifying problems and working on solving them. This is actually one of my strengths -- so "no problem" here.
6. Wow -- I just took a nap this afternoon. I told my kids I'm tired and I need "me" time. They understood and I felt great! It is imperative that we take time for ourselves in order to have enough to give those we love.
7. Amen!
8. I just made a mistake yesterday that was a very good reminder to me to think before speaking. I seem to need to be reminded of that frequently -- but the mistakes help. (And all is forgiven and forgotten on the "hurt" persons side -- it is never as big of deal to them as it is to me.)
9. When we think positive we are positive. I like this one!
10. That is why I work out -- I will never be a model, but I have a wonderful, healthy body and I take care of it.
