It is Monday and I feel like I have been keeping up pretty good with my virtues and remembering how each of them will make me better even if I am feeling too lazy. I decided I needed something different to keep up with these and I came up with an idea to set a reminder on my phone with all my virtues. With cleanliness I have typically been focusing on keeping my things all tidy but then I realized that helping people around me will make me feel just the same. So, I helped my mom with the backyard and decided to do the dishes before she got home. It made her elated which made me happy that she was happy. I am hoping that tomorrow I can do something for my dad or possibly my siblings. I also worked on forgiveness with my family because as I am sure everyone knows, it can be hard to get along with family members living under the same roof 24/7. My sister and I were arguing over whose turn it was to do the laundry and instead of continuing the fight I decided to just stop talking and do it myself. Then I forgave her for her rude attitude. I would say today was overall a 10/10.
The reminder on the iPhone is an amazing idea! Im really glad you are embracing these virtues. Over time the work will pay off and you will be happy you did.
Good job Abeeeeee! Trust me I know getting along with family is not easy but you are handling those arguments very well!! I had cleanliness as one my virtues too and I like how you can take it as a physical thing but also a mental and heart kind of thing too 🙂
