Today is the month mark for two disciplines that were added (or taken away - depending on how you look at it) to my life beginning on January 1st...no nail biting and no chocolate. Silly things to some - I know. But for me - very monumental.
The whole no chocolate thing came out of my personal retreat that I had. Out of nowhere - God asked me to give up chocolate for a year. Obviously that isn't something that I would think of on my own! :) It isn't really about the chocolate - more about the discipline of it. It is a very practical way to be constantly reminded of the fact that I am overall trying to be more disciplined. It is working! One month down - only 11 to go! :)
If you know me at all you know that I bite my nails - always have. Well - this was my own deal. I haven't bitten my nails since Dec. 31st, 2006! They look fabulous - I love it! I am scratching myself all of the time - which will leave some scars. :) Couldn't play the guitar right now if I wanted to. My goal is to get them long and looking nice so I can get a French manicure. Very vain - I know. But FUN!!!
Just wanted to share some milestones! :)
