Day 1: Mugshot!

     I decided that my first photo would be of me, as a sort of "beginning" or "before" picture. I know, I know... this isn't the most flattering photo as I just got home from work when I took it :) My day wasn't filled with anything extra interesting, and I didn't want it to be. Today was a canvas for me to write, scheme, organize, plan, and read for the coming days ahead of me! I bought The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People a couple weeks ago and picked it up twice. I'm now determined on not only reading it everyday but utilizing it in my daily life. Its a powerful book!

Something I got out of it today: "It's not what happens to us, but our response to what happens to us that hurts us. Of course, things can hurt us physically or economically and can cause sorrow. But our character, our basic identity, does not have to be hurt at all. In fact, our most difficult experineces become the crucibles that forge our character and develop the internal powers, the freedom to handle difficult circumstances in the future and to inspire others to do so as well."
