Day 9: best physical feature
Wow... So not something I would ever CHOOSE to write on! Uh... My eyes? I dig that they change colors and the shape. I do wonder why the lashes on my left eye are short and curled and the right eye they are long and straight and stubborn. Need to master the false lashes! But yeah, my eyes are my best physical feature. And now I am moving on. :-)

Day11: Outfit Of The Day
Well, this was for yesterday so, that would be skinny jeans and a green top. Good portion of the day was sweats though.
Day 12: Things That Make Your Day
A good cup of coffee, a trip to the beach, hanging out with a friend, a catch up phone call with a friend or sibling, hearing "I love you" from loved ones. A good book, a random compliment, helping someone else in whatever way I can. When it seems so simple but means the world to them... Going to the movies! I love movies, so that is a great one for me!

Challenge Day 8: Worst Habits
Worst Habits
"If offensive habits go unnoticed or unchanged in a person's life, it will limit the quality and health of otherwise great relationships. On the flip side of the coin, a person who recognizes and changes their own annoying, negative habits, makes themselves a great candidate for the admiration and appreciation of others" a tiny taste of an INCREDIBLE book, Forces That Form Your Future, by Kevin Gerald, from the chapter The Force of Habits. GET IT!
I have bad habits, some I am probably not even aware of. Some of you are probably thinking of some of mine for me. I can be overly sarcastic and can't always turn it off when I should. I interrupt and I really hate when I do it. I can't shut up and listen sometimes! Sometimes I leave a conversation and think, "dang it! I didn't even ask them how their day was!!!" Eye contact makes me nervous sometimes. I don't exercise as much as I should. Sometimes not at all. I watch too much TV.
The best part about bad habits, is knowing that you have the power, and the choice, to break them. In the book I quoted, Kevin talks about replacing bad habits with good ones. Don't obsess over breaking the bad habit, focus on making a new one. When I talk to people, I focus on asking them questions about their day/life before I answer much of anything. It is not a habit yet, but I'm working on it. One habit at time.... I may never chose to break the sarcasm habit. Maybe try to dial it down... Out loud at least.
Anyway, that is my thought on worst habits...
