Virtues: Virtues I aim to practice to the best of my ability each day: Acceptance of life on life's terms/ Curiosity to know and find out things that life has to offer/ Determination to keep going, despite the many challenges I face/ Devotion to my husband, family, friends and dog/ Flexibility so that when life throws me lemons I can make lemonade; Focus on the present/ Forgive others and forgive myself; Generosity in being of service to my fellow man/ Gratitude for all the wonderful things in my life, big and small; Honesty and sincerity in all my affairs/ Humility through gratitude and being of service to others/ Humor and using it to see the funnier side of things; Kindness towards all/ Loving deeply; Loyal to myself and to my morals and values/ Moderation in all things good and bad/ Openness about all people, places and things that I encounter/ Patient, which I was always reminded was a virtue by my Mother/ Prudent in my approach where possible; Reliable to myself and others/ Responsible and accountable to myself and others/ Sensitive to my own needs and the needs of my fellow man/ Sincere in my approach at life and with the people I encounter/ Sober and free from any mind-altering substances/ Spontaneous at times and steadfast when needed/ Strong and tough despite the many curve balls thrown my way/ Trusting that I will be taken care of by a power greater than myself. Vices: At times I feel JEALOUS when I see younger and prettier girls/ Sometimes my PRIDE makes it hard for me to see my own part in things/ As an only-child I can get GREEDY and not share because I fear there won't be enough/ I LUST over celebrities in gossip magazines/ I get ANGRY when my ego gets bruised/ I have been known to be GLUTTONOUS when it comes to Tasti-D-Lite and rainbow sprinkles/ I am SLOTH like when I press the snooze button 10 times before getting up.
