My Today I blog expresses my daily accomplishments. Writing about one significant aspect about my day is self fulfilling and improves my state of mind. I format each post by beginning it with "Today I [Action Verb]..." By always having an action verb, I know that I have taken action at least once a day to do something project-based, hands-on, and productive.
my dad’s birthday. After school, I drove an hour in the rain to his favorite store to buy a present. When I got back, it was time for dinner with the whole family. Having a big family means that this isn’t rare but it is always treasured.
