How I did it
It made me
pleased 
How I did it: I started to concentrate on what i was eating, and preparing food in advance so i wasn't grabbing the easiest snack. I am cutting up vegetables to have snacks in the car, as I drive alot, and a bottle of water. It is also a good way tp save moeny because I am not buying at convenience stores and petrol stations Read how I did it…
It made me
joyous
How I did it: My brother had been in the Olympics rowing three times, so there is a real family interest in them. He still had friens who were competeing, so he was keen to be there and support them. My parenst had been several times, even after he had stopped competeing, so this was great chance to participate form not far away, as we live in Melbourne. I took my eldest son who was 8 and we had a great time together. Read how I did it…
It made me
free
How I did it: Took lessons then took the test - twice and only then I started to learn what driving is really all about. Now I am facing my son getting his licence. Being a young driver is such a dangerous challenge which you only appreciate after the fact. I heard sommeone say you don't become a good driver until you get a fright - and yoou need to survive that fright! Read how I did it…
