I do think however that most people think they are decent drivers while also thinking most other people are not. So I'm not sure what that says about us as a society. Something deep I'm sure.

At one point in my life I tried to make purple my favorite color but I just couldn't stick with it.

I’m really beginning to think that it’s not necessarily the things you are doing every day…its the doing it every. single. day. that is where the real challenge comes from.

The chance that you or I would be able to find that person is so ridiculously low. Which means that the overwhelming majority of people who are in happy and healthy relationships are with the wrong person.

Vomit, poop, sulfur, rotting trash or dead animals...can anyone really rank those into which one is the WORST out of all of them? I doubt it.

There is also a big part of me that doesn't want to deal with people complaining or being unhappy about going somewhere or doing something that I suggested. If I push to go to a certain restaurant and then my friend hates it, I feel somewhat responsible.

Why would I spend hours and hours watching YouTube videos learning how to use power tools when I can just go ask my hubby?

I peed all over my sweatpants when trying to go to the bathroom in the woods and that is the only memory that I have from that trip, so I don't feel like it really counts.

That was also the year that two of the girls in my friend group played a secret admirer trick on me and had me convinced that Walt had a crush on me and was leaving me secret admirer notes.

That means that I have to focus on getting it done in the morning but getting up at 6am has never been a strong suit of mine. Like ever. I’ve always been a night owl and not a morning person.

I remember watching the challenger blow up in class. I remember playing boys-chase-girls and being captured by my crush. I remember getting in trouble for wearing stirrup pants to school one day (they were against dress code).

Being the brilliant entrepreneur that I was at 9 years old, I decided, “you know what would make these cookies even more sellable?”

but my initial goal is to answer 5 questions a day here on this blog/website from the “This is Me” book and then work in a post from the writing prompts book here and there as well.

Sometimes it can be really difficult not to “follow through” on something you said you were going to do, but I think there is value in learning from things and making adjustments based on rational and logical decisions. As long as you don’t get in the habit of lying to yourself…you should be good.

I’m officially over it.

But “it” isn’t necessarily what you think.

I used to have more of that type of relationship with Facebook and Instagram was the fun place to be but ever since the start of Covid..Instagram transitioned into becoming a place I loved and also loathed.

We missed our walk this morning. Slept in a little bit and then had to get ready to head into church. I knew this would happen from time to time…especially if we stay in bed until 6:30 or later.

It's something that I struggle to explain, my desire to write. It feels antithetical to what drives most people today - short, fast entertainment that doesn't offer a lot of connection.

…but the thing about this challenge is that it's not necessarily the level of difficulty to do each of the things individually...the difficulty lies in the continuous nature of the challenge.

I went back and forth for a while on wether or not I needed to do a “formal” statement on Instagram about my 75 day absence.
