The past several days have not been very interesting, but at least I'm keeping up with it!
Day 4: Give $20 to a non-profit of your choosing.
I am going to do this when I get paid. In the meantime, I make monthly contributions to Minneapolis Public Radio. :)
Day 5: Take 5 minutes of silence at noon.
I used this time to pray for the ex's ex. I still want to throw up every time I think about her. Maybe I should just pray for that to go away?
Day 6: Look out the window until you find something of beauty you had not noticed before.
I did this on the way to and from work. I noticed a sign outside of a strip club in Maryvale advertising an appearance by Sir Mix A Lot, and I laughed so hard. Does that count?
Day 7: Give 5 items of clothing to Goodwill
This was so difficult! Not because I hate parting with my possessions, but because I gave away everything I could before I moved. But I still managed to find five things.
Day 8: No bitching day
This was a fun one, because I told some of my coworkers about it. My principal wanted to make a school-wide no bitching day, but that suggestion was shot down quickly. Surprisingly, I realized that I don't complain as much as I thought I did (at least, I didn't that day). I love my job, so it wasn't too difficult. But that evening, I did notice that I was complaining a lot in my head about my love life. Need to work on this.
Day 9: Do someone else's chore
I was shot down by three people before anyone accepted help! The two teachers next door to me let me fix a bulletin board and babysit naughty students while the class watches a movie. I'm hoping to find at least one more chore today... It's kind of fun to see people's reactions when you offer.
We sang Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) in church last week, and I've been singing it all week. Love it.
