How I did it: I created this goal to get a chance to read books that I normally wouldn't read, to read books that are important to other people, and to get exposed to new authors. I asked for five people to recommend one book each that was important to them in some way (funny, profound, fiction, non-fiction... it didn't matter as long as it wasn't a text book). In return, they would agree to read one book of my choosing (my first pick was I… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Mainly, I just did it. I've been on this site for not quite three years, and during that time I've followed many people who have had this goal (and similar goals). But I didn't initially jump on board. I worried that I didn't have time or that my entries wouldn't be good enough. I made excuses. But eventually I decided that I needed to start focusing on the positive more.... so, I did it. I don't always… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got the idea for this one night when I was trying to decide what book to read next. Books have been a very powerful driving force in my life. I wanted to see what others read and value. It worked out beautifully. Read how I did it…
I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why, I succeed.

I was grateful for…
1. – A restful day off. Though it did include some paperwork for my business… but mostly I had a day off. :-)
2. – Morning rain showers.
3. – Finding some recipes from a place I used to be the sous chef at. The place is closed now and I had thought that I wouldn’t be able to replace these recipes… best desserts ever! :-)
4. – Being able to spend some time working in my garden. I finally had to come inside because it was getting too dark outside, but it was a lovely evening.
5. – My Kindle… it makes reading and finding good books to convenient.
I was grateful for…
1. – Time to get some things done around the house.
2. – Noticing that most of the seeds I planted in my garden have started to sprout and come up through the soil.
3. – Having enough time to mow my grass before it rained. It takes about three hours on a large tractor to mow my lawn, about four acres.
4. – Rain showers… I love hearing the sound of water hit the metal roof of my house and covered front porch… but I also love it when nature waters my garden for me. :-)
5. – Simple, tasty vegetarian foods.
