Challenging myself to participate in Teach Write's Daily Writing Project. Here is my writing today: Growth is a challenge Routines are comforting, yet can become dull I thrive in plans and structure and schedules However, struggles arise when I meet an unforeseen challenge I want to expand my abilities to be flexible I want to expand my mindset of what is a challenge I always want to plan for every possibility and still become frustrated when I can't anticipate something I want to expand my definition of difficult I want to change my habits to become less frustrated by surprises I want to express myself in someway everyday I want to embrace challenges and celebrate the small victories It is so easy to sit in the dark of the present But I want to open up to see the light around me Celebrate the everyday, the light that I don't always notice i want to open up my mind to seeing what's already around me
