There is just nothing like doing something positive for yourself and coming through on a challenge. Over the weekend my mother and I went shopping for some new furniture to make my apartment more comfortable and easy to live in for both of us (it's not really meant for two people).
Putting together the bookcase last night I realized at one point that if there had been a man around, I would have been sitting on the sidelines watching someone else put together a bookcase that I just as easily could have done myself. Chivalry is great and everything, but I like the fact that I can still break out the hammer and pound down some nails. It gave me a sense of self sufficiency that I enjoyed and when I awoke this morning I saw a piece of furniture that I built myself, standing proudly against my wall.
What kind of challenges have you overcome recently? Be sure to recognize them and give yourself a pat on the back!
