Like most things that we count on to be there for us, it's easy to take our family for granted. From sharing a meal together, to agreeing to forgive and forget, commit to caring for the people and staying in touch with those who mean the most in your life.
"Yes my minimum definitely needs to be 3 except on my day off. Day off it really is just read at least one book and I always choose a picture book that will take at least 10 minutes on that day so I meet my streak goal. I did talk to Jon today about how to make more reading happen again. I'm ready."
"Day 19, the important part is not the win, it's the fight and overcoming the daily struggle
Self-discipline never ends, today brings a new struggle and hurdles WHICH I WILL BEAT/ COMPLETE/ SURPASS/ OVERCOME"
"Aw thank you for saying that honey. And thank you for helping and encouraging me. I forgot to submit the report that I didn’t watch any porn last week "
"It is definitely gonna be by P's birthday, not by A's birthday. The past few months I have relied on Jon to read more and more as I've been focused on outside time and survival in all other family aspects. I'm recommiting to finishing this challenge of 5000 picture books. And I believe I can do it by P's 2nd birthday. "
"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you
Never excuse yourself, never pity yourself, be a hard master to yourself. Be lenient to everyone else"
"I have very few, very good friends and it's time to appreciate and invest in them more. Friendship/Stay Connected will be a 3-month/13 week goal.
I'm making my own wager here: If I am 90% (or more) successful, I will earn $20."
"Day 17 a setback has often cleared the way for greater prosperity, many things have fallen only to rise to more exalted heights
All struggles present opportunities that can be turned into successes"
"No matter how unfair, how much I think I deserve praise or credit, people will respect you if you take it up the ass no complaints
Do the job, smile and move on, don't worry if they aren't friendly, do your bit!"
"Day 16 I'm not self-disciplined enough unless I can still stick to my resolutions without the help of other people
A man then must stand erect, not be kept erect by others - Marcus Aurelieus "
"Grateful for a good climbing date and fun with the kids on the wall.
Will work on being more partner centered in regards to hobbies. I also make sure it is known I am working on things because it’s the right thing to do like following through on leaks and furnace repair issues/concerns "
"Lot going on with life, the mediation and a general feeling of irresponsibility and self. Plus the WC. Have done things in a slightly disorganised manner and have prioritised short term wants more than long term goals. No excuses this week!"
"I can see how I was grating continually offering to drive. I can be sure to preface such asks with I know I don’t really like driving but I know you don’t either and I’m confident and happy to do it. Helping you brings me joy. I also should not have eaten part of an uncrustable or turned on the oven right away when I knew that had upset matt previous times we’ve returned home. It was not kind or helpful for me to comment on the water leak being noticed previously (but doing nothing about it that was helpful). I can see how I don’t think of things from Matt’s perspective or take the extra step to do things the way I know he likes. "
