I just realized somethings about myself that have changed.
Two weekends ago I made bunk beds for the boys, I moved them out of their toddler beds and they still wanted to share a room so I made them bunk beds.
I came up with a design and went to Home Depot on a Friday and built them all weekend. It probably took 15 to 20 hours of build time, but they are awesome.
What is different about this was that I committed to a project and followed through, and in a timely matter. This was something that I struggled with and have been working on. I have been making lists and trying to keep up with them. It is funny that I did not notice this accomplishment until now. I am proud of myself.
Another thing is that I ordered new wheels and tires for my truck, something I have wanted for two years. As a recovering "nice guy" I never felt it was appropriate or that I should spend the money on myself. I did wait for a bonus check, but I also did order them and did it just for me. Complete selfish move and I deserved it and am happy I did it. It felt good to take care of my own needs.
So some continuous baby steps have lead to some personal gains in my life.
