Im proud because Im pressing charges on the guy who sexually assaulted me, after not telling anyone for a year.

And I fought a week and a half long urge. and I was about too give in, I had my tool and everything but I thought. I'm stronger than this, I wont.

I could control myself, when I saw my ex laughing at me. I really wanted to confront him, but I didn't. And that's good.

I am proud of myself today because I did my science homework, and finished my short story task early.

Take care,
Annie.

I have an apartment that gives me plenty of heat, and in a nice area, and I don't have to worry about rodents or bugs attacking me when I am home. The rent is a little higher.

The most I like about my apartment is now I have a front window, and God's light can come in and shine on me. The sunlight makes a difference believe me. I used to live in the dark because I had no window. This apartment brings joy to my being and I am so proud of it. I love it.

I am proud of myself for getting my homework done, and catching up with the class. I am proud of myself for posting and interacting with others.

I am proud of myself for being me, fat and all. Duh! I think not.

I am blessed and I am proud of myself for believing that God will help me in my time of need, and for keeping the faith that he will do what I ask, as long as I honor him. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

...that I:

- managed to get up early in the morning

- go to work and concentrate on my work

- send my analysis to my teacher instead of just drop it all

- didn't think much about my ex

- continue to breathe and live although it's hard

Eva,

I managed to get some sleep until my daughter woke me up, and I thank God for being off. I am also at home to get a lot of homework done. I am so proud of myself for sticking with my schooling.
