Super-me

Write about a time when you surprised yourself with your abilities. Is there a specific time you can remember when you were convinced that you could not do something, and then you did it? Tell us!

When I'm convinced I can't do something I just don't do it.

Physically: get up in the morning. And yet I do.
Mentally: learn another language. Very hard for me at some times and yet now I think in Spanish.
Emotionally: return to Costa Rica. I waited too long... 35 years, but I did.

The last couple days have been brutal as my nerves were shot. But today I sent money; and, it has been received. But I was exhausted. I bought a goose a couple day ago and today Travis cooked my goose. Plus potatoes, turnips, rutabagas, onions... We invited Zach, Van and Scott. The 5 of us had a nice Thanksgiving meal. I survived. Now I'm just plain tired. There is nothing to do tomorrow except sleep.
