Day 21: Impossible
Something you’ve overcome that once felt impossible. I have some health challenges. Generally, I don’t speak about them too often. Not ‘publicly’ at any rate. Privately, amongst my family, I will sometimes complain, generally about pain, but that’s often because I suffer from chronic pain and it is very plain to see when I’ve gone…

Day 20: Life experience
A unique positive life experience you’ve had. This may seem a little weird at first, but stick with me… I’ve mentioned before I was married when I just weeks before I turned 23, divorced at 24. I mentioned my (ex) mother-in-law was quite the pickle of a lady who, for the most part, despised me.…

Day 19: Indulgences
Something you own that you’ve wanted for a long time… I have wanted my own, enclosed office for a long time! Especially after doing series of Zoom meetings out in the open and having a cat, dog, teenager, and husband interrupt me! Oh how I longed for a door!

Day 18: Chances
A chance you got that not everyone gets. There are many things in life that one gets a ‘chance’ to do! A trip, a job, an education… But what did I get a chance to do that not everyone does. For me? This meant my education. Why? Because of my husband. There are a lot…

Day 17: Thoughtfulness
The most thoughtful thing someone’s done for you. This goes back a long time… Many (many) years ago, someone made me a “PMS Survival Kit”. While I don’t recall all of the contents, I know it had some of my most favourite and needed things in it… Sour cream and onion chips, green olives, Tylenol,…

Day 16: Talent (posted late)
Talents you’ve been complimented on. The problem with identifying something like this is I end up feeling kind of weird. I am not so good at receiving compliments about stuff I am good at. It makes me quite uncomfortable when people point out things I do well. Now, I do have some talents, a few…

Day 15: Your Person
Someone who believed in you before you did. Has anyone ever believed in me before I did? Yes! Chris. My best friend. He saw something in me when we met and while I still don’t always believe in myself, he does. I wrote about Chris in my 50 Memories countdown, so I won’t go into…

Day 14: An Impossible Goal
A goal you reached that once felt impossible. Attending post secondary school. As a high-school drop-out with sub-par grades, I honestly once felt attending any kind of post secondary education was well beyond my ability. I spent most of my high school career believing I was far too stupid to ever get beyond “Do you…

Day 13: Surprises
The sweetest surprise someone planned for you. I love surprises. Like a lot. I have always liked to plan surprises, the problems is, not many people I know like surprises! So, I plan small ones. Dates, gifts, anything I think might make people smile. Surprises are my thing, not so much that of those around…

Day 12: Gifts
The best gift you’ve ever received. I always say the absolute best gift I have ever received is my son. However, I realize that I don’t “own” him. He is a person, but I still feel that his the greatest gift and I thank the universe every day for him. The best gift I have…
