Confident, yes; arrogant no. Accountability, yes; shame, no. Kind, yes; pushover, no. Determined, yes; obsessed, no. Strong, yes; rigid, no. Solitude, yes; lonely, no. Every good and useful thing has a shadow. Chin up.

I read somewhere/sometime that it takes two months to form a habit. I’m pretty sure that must be an average, because good habits take me like 1,543 days and bad habits require just one occurrence to be stuck for life. (Bring on the post-breakfast hostess cupcake!) Chin up.
