Challenge yourself





to be different
to find peace
to know who you are
to love freely
to smile when all you want to do is cry
to cross the road
to let things fall apart right in front of you
to travel on your own
to be the first one who raises their hand
to be wrong, very wrong
to spend an entire day smiling


WHAT CAN YOU THINK OF TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF?!


 
house update:
i PASSED all my final inspections - off to city hall to get my CA (certificate of approval) - and i'm FINALLY legally done with all my renovations!!! - refacing my house will be a 2012 project - gotta save the $$$$, then i'll worry about permits and all that stuff again ...

well Butterflies - i'm off to DTS (down the shore) tonight - taking some ME time off work tomorrow to lay in the sun and relax and catch up on some of my reading (book about BRCA gal who went through what i'm going through now - also rereading "When Things Fall Apart") ..


 
ENJOY UR WEEKEND!!!!

    I love the first quote. Enjoy your time at the shore. If you see Snooki tell her I say hi and that she needs to wear longer skirts! Thanks ; )

    Wonderful post. Isn't so easy to keep yourself in the comfort zone and not challenge yourself everyday? I am so guilty of this, but I think to better yourself, you have to try new things and take risks...that's what helps me push myself.
