#resound11 - Virtues

December 3, 2011 Prompt

Virtues

What good have you done in 2011? Where do you really shine? What have you done that makes you proud of yourself?

I am not good at pointing out the good things in myself - so I accept this challenge and really had to think on it before posting.  2011 was a good year - I really focused on me this year (while still making time for my family and friends).  Overall, This year, I think the following virtues have shined through the most...


  • Bravery and Commitment.   This year I pushed my boundaries by trying new things (hello #5kin100days... My inaugeral bike ride... Zumba!) and committing to achieving my goals.  I went outside of my comfort zone this year, and I really stuck to it.  Looking back at all of my blog posts this year, I set many goals, and while I may not have accomplished all of them, I did finish out the year by accomplishing atleast half a handful of them.  And for that I am proud of myself, and it really makes me think that I am ready to continue on into 2012 by finishing what I set out to do, and also create new set of goals!


It's funny how long it took me to find a reflection for this post.  Amazing how I can point out atleast a dozen negative things about myself, but when it comes to positive attributes/virtues, I had one hell of a time.  I know that I have great qualities, and I am thankful for this post to remind myself just how awesome I am, because for every "bravery and commitment" there are atleast 10 more virtues I could write about (some are just stronger than others at times!).
