I learned that I can do things I didn't think I could. I never used to feel a lack of self-confidence, but after being home full time for over 10 years, I seriously have wondered if I can do ANYTHING anymore.
But this year, I took an undergrad class and got an A. While it wasn't the hardest thing I've ever done, it wasn't easy. Most of my studying was done late at night. I somehow managed to memorize things in spite of my Swiss cheese mama brain. It gave me the confidence to know that I can do more. And in 2011, I will do more.
I also took up running - something I've never done before and never in a million years would have thought I could do. Even a few weeks into it, I was quite sure it was going to kill me. But it didn't. At the ripe old age of forty*mumble, mumble*, I convinced my body to do something new. There will be more of that in 2011 too.
This post is Day 17 of Reverb10, 31 days of reflecting on the year that's past and sending out reverberations for the year ahead.)

I love it. I am in a self reflective time myself. I am planning to begin running in the new year. I never had the intrest and my thought was, "If nothing is chasing you why are you running?"
My hearts desire is to listen to God's voice for change so I will not be in the same place in 365 days.
Good luck on your endevors and congrats on your class.
Hi,
I just wanted to say that I love your blog. I can't remember if I commented a couple weeks ago when I first started reading but since then I've tried to catch up on some of your past posts.
Love that you have a large family. We are working on more kids...so I love to read about larger families...also I'm thinking about catholic school so love to hear your perspective.
I don't post much but love to read blogs. I just wanted to say hi!
