I am Proud of Myself…

I got this idea from this diarist while I was randoming around.

I am proud of myself

• because I drove in the falling snow this morning. A year ago I would have been too scared to do it. And I must say, I half-wished my car wouldn’t have started, too! But, I took it as an omen when it did, and went.
• that I am doing so much better at understanding spoken Italian. Constant readers will remember how near I was to giving up a while ago. But I decided I wasn’t going to let the fact that I wasn’t The Best Student in the class stop me. And, slowly, my comprehension has improved. I am also a little better about not freezing when asked to say something in Italian, too.
• that I am coming out of this funk I was in a few weeks ago. I would be more worried about cancer being found by the MRI if it wasn’t for the fact that I have had this hip pain for literally years. There is no way I would have cancer in my bones for years and have it not discivered before this year.
• that  in coming out of the funk, I am keeping up with the cleaning and tidying a bit more. It still isn’t back to where I want it to be, but the house is looking a bit better. The bathroom and the kitchen have both had good clean-ups recently after having been neglected for too long.
• that I am doing very well in learning how to use my Mac Book. Of course, Apple should get some credit for this; it really is a really easy system to use.

QUOTATIONS FOR THIS MONTH: "There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so."

Hamlet 2.2.255-256

“Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do?” Jim Rohn (motivational speaker/philosopher)
