2009 Acknowledgments

A few years ago at Agape a guest speaker, Rhonda Britten, gave us two assignments to do as we head into the New Year. The first was to write 100 Acknowledgments -- basically 100 things we can pat ourselves on the back for having done over the past year. The other assignment was to write a list of 100 things we're grateful for. Though, I'm much more comfortable with the gratitude list, I'm going to push myself to write the acknowledgments. I'm sure I'll have to go in bits and pieces. Here's to hoping I get through 40.

I am acknowledging myself for:
1. moving into Lomita house.
2. painting the Barcelona house kitchen cabinets and changing out the handles.
3. painting the Barcelona house living and dining rooms... three times.
4. painting the Barcelona house master bedroom.
5. painting India's room in the Barcelona house.
6. painting Teo's room in the Barcelona house. (Does this sound like cheating? I have to do 100 of these and painting all these rooms by myself was hard work!)
7. staining the concrete around the Barcelona house.
8. starting the Reiki Coach business.
9. starting the Reiki Coach blog.
10. settling my law suit.
