Breakfast Sparkling Cider

Drink a bottle of sparkling cider for breakfast.

My friend Sandra is visiting from Oregon and I have been trying to show her the awesomeness of Washington. So far, Sandra and I have walked the Tacoma Mall, visited with some friends, walked along Titlow Beach, and eaten very good food.

All the activities had kept us up quite late and we’ve been consistently sleeping in later and later.  This morning, I woke up around 8am and visited my sister’s room. Later, erm, well, around noon, I woke up again. After waking up Sandra, I made us a lovely quick breakfast of egg-on-toast and celebrated our time together by popping a bottle of grape sparkling cider. It was DELICIOUS. I don’t know why we don’t do this more often. I think everyone should celebrate the day with a little bubbly for breakfast!

Personal Mission Statement

Write down your personal mission statement and follow it.

"A personal mission statement is an individual statement that outlines what you want to be (character), what you want to do (contributions and achievement), and the values or principles upon which being and doing are based." (The Change Blog)

I endeavor to become the fullest version of myself.

I vow to enjoy life daily. I vow to find amusement and humor in the littlest things. I vow to adventure and learn. I vow to value love, cherish happiness, and relish in compassion.

I vow to love God above all else. To trust in God and let the Holy Spirit work through me. 

I vow to love my family and support them. I vow to encourage my friends to be their best selves.

I vow to view others as loved by God and treat them as such. To empower, lead, inspire, serve, and listen.

I vow to love with a subtle passion and never let love go. I vow to let my emotions move me and pass me like the wind. To forgive, learn, and forget the specifics but not the lesson. I vow to heal, not scar. 

I vow to be honest with myself. To take pride in myself. 

I vow to pursue my dreams fiercely. To dedicate myself to a cause. To take up hobbies. I vow to work hard.

I vow to recognize but not fear failure. I vow to give thanks for my shortcomings and blessings. I vow to be surprised, shocked, amazed, and humbled. I vow to never give up hope.
