Five things I am proud of
I am going to follow yo-yo no more 's lead and try a little positive thinking...
Ok so five things I am proud of this week:
1. I got it together to go to the gym a few times, even though it is cold and I was grumpy. It was a good way to feel better in a non-guilty way (i.e. I wasn't thinking at the same time... I really should get back to working on my thesis...).
2. I really did work on my thesis! Including a presentation on cultural scripts using NSM semantics (I haven't done that for years!). On the other side of the coin, I hung in there with the LFG classes, and gained a preliminary understanding of how LFG works.
3. I forgave myself yet again for not meeting the deadlines I had set, beating myself up about it just paralyzes me into inaction.
4. I learned how to knit, (I soon hope to be knitting something that can be worn).
5. I spelled out, kind of 'read', an entire email in Hebrew, and with help from Eyal, wrote back entirely in Hebrew.
Yeah! This is a cool idea! It made me think about lots of things I have done in the last week, thoughts that weren't recriminations!
Happy Easter.
