• armadillo hunt. This is a long time camp ritual, but I have never participated.
• make a video of my summer. This one will be easy.
• work on loping. I can lope, but I look really stupid when I do.
• saddle in less than 5 minutes. This one will make my bosses and myself really happy.
• finish reading "life without limits". This one is pretty self explanatory. 

My life. I've had a lot of school work to do, I'm trying to hurry and finish by May. That explains why I haven't posted this week. This will be the last blog post for a few weeks. I will however leave you with my progress on my positive "adventure" and a few ramblings.

I started thinking. Yeah, I don't do that a lot. Before I say things I (most of the time) think. It really has helped me. I still have to be held accountable, but it's okay I'm happy with my progress. I really have been less stressed because of my new positive thinking. It takes much less energy to think and say positive things than negative.

I've been trying to perfect making an omelet. The first morning...let's just say I had really awesome scrambled eggs. (positive thinking!) The second day...it was better! It tasted better, looked better, and smelled better! Making progress on something always makes me happy!

I am finished with Bible class for the year! I made an A 98% on my final!

I'm a negative person. I've been like that ever since I can remember. It just isn't natural for me to look on the "sunnyside" of things. Being so negative really has taken a toll on my life. I was ready for a change. So at the beginning of this past week I asked almost everyone that is around the most of the week to tell me if I'm being negative. The result...

It's been okay. Wait that was negative wasn't it? *facepalm* It has been different. It is going to take a while to get use to. Most of the time I make conversation by complaining, or talking about something bad that happened to me. Come to think of it that is probably why I talk so much! Now that I've "turned over a new leaf" (who came up with that term anyway) whenever I am going to tell about something that I did I gather all the good things that happened and throw out all the bad things. It's probably a stupid way to look at things, but that's how my brain works.

When my brain says "I'll complain about this!" I say "Let us rethink that.". I just put the complaint into perspective. For example, if I am going to complain that it's hot, I just remember when the sun didn't shine for a week at the beginning of this year.

My "adventure" is much easier since I asked people to hold me accountable. And yes, it was hard to say "My name is Grace, and I have a problem", but what are friends and family for right?
