31 days ...

so, in blog world, many bloggers are paticipating in a 31 days challenge for the month of October.  31 days of ...

And although I am trying to fly under the radar here with my little blog and my sweet, faithful friends who share life with me here, I thought it would be a good challenge for me to have something to blog about DAILY for 31 days (let's just say self-discipline is not my middle name).  I've been thinking and thinking, what would I want to do for 31 days and blog about.  I thought about 31 days of cooking, but my life is a bit too complicated for that right now, I thought about 31 days of crafting, but again .. complicated (I'd never have the supplies I needed where I am, I am sure!)  31 days of thankfulness (to finally get to my 1000 gifts) ... hmmmm ... tempting, but a bit of a copout since I intend to do that anyway.

So, I decided to challenge myself in the area I am struggling with most ... being brave.  So, for the next 31 days, I'm gonna be focusing on trusting God more in the big and little things in my life, doing hard stuff (that I keep avoiding), accomplishing some things that need to be done ... and maybe even throwing in a few extras for good measure (Laura, this would be a good month for that skydiving thing!!  Just saying!)

For today, the bravest thing I did was believing I could finish today's running workout ... 2 miles without walking ... how did I ever finish a marathon??  2 miles down ... and counting!!
