Simplify Week #3

This week at the Simplify Your Life Challenge we were supposed to create personal mission statements.

If you just thought that tearing out your fingernails would be more entertaining, well then...we have a lot in common.

But I thought some more about the good things that I experienced last year. I looked deeply at the five values I identified last week for myself.

Humor      Generosity      Creativity      Independence      Health

Then I was reminded of the sign that was up on our wall while my former husband and I were foster parents.

Be Nice, Be Safe, Be Honest.

Great rules to live by and it got me thinking about how I could incorporate my core values into a mission statement for myself.

Treasure the joys in life and have fun. Be generous and kind. Challenge myself creatively. Honor my independence and work to maintain and improve my health.

 It's taken me longer than I expected to be able to put this into words but I'm very happy with it now. One thing is for sure, I have certainly challenged my creativity with this task.
