get a standing ovation
Crossing this off my list

Not because I’ve stood before an upright, hand clapping audience, but because I should do things without wanting human praise. I understand that now, besides that’s way too much pressure to put on any one person. I don’t need a standing ovation, nor do I want one, there is far more important goals and wishes in life.



write a novel
Length

40,000 words or more. That’s how long a book should be to be considered a novel. I wonder, can I insert 40 pictures and call this one done?



Do something I thought impossible (read all 2 entries…)
Running a 5k nonstop...

Yeah, that seems impossible to me right now. I’m actually thinking about deleting it as I write, but I won’t because that’s the whole point of impossible… It being impossible or in my case feeling like it is.

Well, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength and if completed, hopefully in a few months ( I’m in training mode now) I’ll be able to cross this off my list with 100% honesty and happiness.
