Have you ever wondered if your life could be better? Of course most of us have but do we do anything to make it better? Oh many of us buy the self help books but get nowhere. I want a better life and somehow I stumbled upon this book I want to share. Life Makeovers by Cheryl Richardson and in summary it holds 52 practical ways to improve your life one week at a time.

I like this book so much because instead of me reading a better way I am also involved in the process. WOW what a novel idea for the author to introduce me to myself! I will say the first exercise has been a bit difficult for me. I had to write 25 accomplishments I am most proud of over the past 12 months. It is strange to me to brag on myself as I am sure for many others it is as well. I was able to and it felt good to acknowledge me. As the author states

Seeing the good in others starts with seeing the good in ourselves.

So with that said I hope each of us can find the good within ourselves …………I challenge each of you to share at least one accomplishment you’ve made in the past 12 months. Only fair for me to list one as well. I think one of my big ones would be realizing I don’t need a man in my life. I still would like to have a man in my life but it doesn’t consume me anymore. I use to be on several sites and actively looking for “him” but that ended months ago. Not to say I don’t on occasion slip back into that way of thinking but now I come back to reality much quicker.

So what can you share? I hope at least if you don't choose to share anything you will write your own list.

	this is a great blog. And i accept your challenge. My accomplishment is that even though was forced to move back to place i hate. i was able to land a job that will keep a roof over my childrens heads. I left the man I love behind...and I didnt just shrivel up and die like i thought i would. even though it hurts like hell i'm still waking up every morning and going to work and getting through it. I also would like to recommend a book. My ex boss in massachusetts gave it to me as as a going away present and it means the world to me....its called "the secret" and it does work. Keep these kinds of blogs coming... I love them.

	g/f I've come to the conclusion that life IS worth living & I'm back to work (part time for now). I'm with TeddyB .... think this is good for the forums. A good "accountability" thread & support system. Very good!

	I started volunteering at the library next door and the county playhouse. The one I am most proud of is its been four months since I stopped using and abusing morphine. I Have taken a proactive approach to my pain control. Exercising in the pool here. Dam I am looking good. Kiss me big time.
