Weekly Challenge: Personal Project

Far too often I find myself with enterprising ideas, or notions of something I'd like to pursue. 
Far too infrequently I fail to make time to properly invest in any of them, and allow most to slip through the cracks without giving it a fair shake.  This does not seem to be an uncommon experience among folks in modern society.

Weekly challenge, should you choose to accept it:
Make 30 minutes of time in the morning to sit down and dedication to a pursuit of your choosing.
Could be an area of study, and small project, the beginnings of a larger project, writing, reading, stretching, etc.  Get after it and see what progress can be made in dedicated 30 minute intervals regularly.

Weekly Challenge: Bestowing Grace Upon Others

Very recently I've been finding myself with an uncharacteristic lack of patience, and a persistent irritability towards circumstances and other people.  I don't much care for it, and my great theory is that a good chunk of this stems from a lack of perspective.  For my money, grace and perspective are two of the greatest antidotes to cynicism and bitterness.

My challenge for the week, to myself and anyone else who might be feeling a tad overwhelmed or short-tempered, is to make it a priority to bestow grace upon other people.  Esteem others and serve them first.  Look for opportunities to go out of your way to help or invest in those around you. 
See what happens, and please feel free to let me know of any results.
