Virtue Week Record

Okay, so the virtue that I thought I would try is Resolution. I tend to slack off on some things, but when I concentrate I can really put my mind to things and get them done. So, I think that concentrating on performing on this virtue will help me focus my mind.

“Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve.”

Sunday: I am getting somewhat angry with my brother this summer. I try not to let him irritate me, but sometimes he rubs me the wrong way (just like any sibling). I am going to try and ignore him and not let him make me angry or yell.

Monday: I promised my mother I would help her paint if she bought me a CD (which she already did). So, I have to buck up and help her paint while not complaining.

Tuesday: I have been busy this week, but I told myself I will take time to clean my room (which can get messy in the summertime). So, I turned on some music, and I finally cleaned my room really well.

Wednesday: I didn’t have much going on today, and I thought it was a good day to read. So, I resolved to get some more reading done for school.

Thursday: I have chores to do each week, and I have been putting them off. But today I did a few of my weekly chores.

Friday: I am taking drivers ed, and I have some work I need to do for Monday, but I am not going to be home this weekend. So, I resolved to get it all done today.

Saturday: I am going to a concert in NH tomorrow, and I need to pack. I have made a list of things I need, but have not packed my things yet because I dread it and it takes me a while.

Sunday: I went to the concert today, and I wanted to buy quite a few souvenirs. But, I know that money is pretty tight right now with my family, so I resolved my self to get only a few things I wanted. There was a program that I wanted, but it was $25.00, so my mom said I could get that or a t-shirt, and I had to figure out which I wanted more.
