Celebrate every achievement– that’s my message to myself and the world.

It’s 12 : 32 AM on day 2070 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Proverbs 15, have breakfast, learn one new thing –The young kangaroo, or joey, is born alive at a very immature stage when it is only about 2 cm long and weighs less than a gram. Immediately after birth it crawls up the mother’s body and enters the pouch. The baby attaches its mouth to one of four teats, which then enlarges to hold the young animal in place.– and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 749 only $501 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂)

This morning I was thinking about all the things that God has done through me so far this year and because I believe it’s important to celebrate every achievement (no matter how small) I wrote them down. Take a look:

2016 Brags (in God)

1. Finished reading the Bible – after a few years of reading the Bible every day on April 20^th I finished reading the Bible
2. Raised $5 749 for Smile Train so far through my 25 Smiles Campaign  (I’m SO GRATEFUL to God and everyone who has helped out (and continues to help out))
3. Read 3 books – still a long way to go to reach my goal of reading 20+ books this year but 3 is way better than 0
4. Blogged every day for 2000 days (and counting)
5. Learned one new thing every day (just don’t ask me if I remember all the facts or not LOL 🙂 )
