Just like Ben

Benjamin Franklin was quite the inspirational man.

Did you know what he created a list of 13 virtues that he wanted to work on? He would pick a virtue and he would work on it until he felt he achieved that virtue and then move on to the next. I have been thinking, and I want to try the same thing out.

His 13 original virtues were Temperance, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Tranquility, Chastity, and Humility. I have picked my own that I believe I need to work on.

Gratitude

Patience

Sincerity/ Honesty

Frugality

Attentiveness

Moderation

So here is how it is going to work, I am going to pick a virtue and work on it for a month. As soon as that month is up, I will move on to the next one and (hopefully) write what I have learned. So for this month, I have already started on Gratitude (and it is SO hard!). I am excited! :D Hopefully it all goes well! I will keep you updated on any game changers
