Day 331: Grace In Small Things

January 15, 2010
Comment?
  • Waiting for someone outside the mall and instead getting hit on & followed by a russian dude in his 30s whom I’m pretty sure may have been a prostitution recruiter. Can’t say this wasn’t amusing / scary.
  • MY FIRST EVER DRIVING LESSON! I drove on actual streets next to actual cars. Not only that, but I made a left-hand turn onto my very busy street and drove all the way home, no instructor intervention needed. SO PROUD OF MYSELF.
  • The satisfaction of comparing the “before” to the “after” and marveling at how great it looks now after you clean an appallingly dirty space.
  • The great feeling of personal satisfaction when you do something outside your comfort zone and survive it.
  • Adding to my sketchbook/yearbook/lifebook project – there is something so therapeutic about this! Not only that, but it provides the perfect “hard copy” creative outlet and great balance between art, a scrapbook, personal lists and a journal.

Wage a battle against embitterment and take part in Grace In Small Things.
