Day 11: being honest with myself

I finished listening to brene brown's book imperfect parenting. It's short,  only 2 hours,  abs quite good.  Though very similar to much of her other work.  

I was journaling this afternoon and wanted to remember all the key ideas from the book,  so I Googled hoping to find a summary. I stumbled upon her "wholehearted inventory. " 

Curious,  I decided to take the quiz. 

Before starting the quiz required me to check a box that I would answer the questions honestly for where I am today,  not where I hope to be tomorrow 

"OK. Honest.  100%. Let's read the first question"

Even when I feel good about what I have done, I notice when others have done things better. 

Face palm. Really, Brene? You gonna call me to the carpet that hard?

Honest. I'll be honest. Let's find out where my heart needs work.

The quiz was relatively short but it made me squirm a little. I felt like explaining and justifying.  But I was honest.  Considering the way I have felt / acted in the past 2 weeks. 

The results came back as a strong affirmation that indeed,  I'm working on the right things this Lent. 

The questions and the results gave me a lot to chew on.... and so Lent continues
