We officially finished the first week of bragitude! Hooray! Yesterday, like many days around here, was chaotic. I ended up confused several times about how bragitude didn’t get posted on Facebook. I finally got it on there in the wee hours of the morning today, so I’m counting that. After days like yesterday, I second guess myself and seriously question why in the world I took on yet another challenge. Especially while also trying to launch Nonnie’s Cookbook. There’s a good reason though. Friends.
Gratitude
I have this really awesome and totally cool friend who encourages me, motivates me, gently pushes me, prods my creativity, and helps me beyond measure, every single day. Thank you so much, friend. ❤️
Brag
I hope you all are as proud of me as I am of myself. After, I got so stressed out recently and was feeling stretched so thin, I made a vow to myself to be more firm and schedule more me time. Well, today marks the second week in a row where I have declared a house and entire evening to myself. I’m not taking care of anyone else, not feeding anyone else, not responsible for anyone else. I’m planning an evening of fast food and TV bingeing. 📺
Your Turn
You know the drill!
Bragitude day 8
Brag – My Brag of the day is that I have lived by myself since I moved from my mother 1965 and I have always been able to handle most things on my own. Most of my fellow workers in different schools have been married and they have helped one another with practical things. In Sweden we have got a proverb which says: “A good guy gets along by himself” and I have always found it hard to ask for help. Mostly that´s a good characteristic but now when I am disabled, I have to be brave and ask for help.
Gratitude – I´m grateful that when I ask for help there is always someone waiting for helping me.
