The 10 Commandments of Courage

[I'm in...where the heck am I?...in Logrono, Spain.  Testing my wings for 65 days in Europe.  Day 18.  I needed this.  I found it at at Expat Women.]


The 10 Commandments of Courage
by Margie Warrell


1. Trust Yourself

No matter what happens, you can handle it. You are capable of more than you think you are. Really!


2. Question Assumptions

Do not hang on to beliefs that no longer serve you. The only limits you have are those you place on yourself. Assumptions are the death of possibilities.


3. Do What Is Right

Be true to yourself above everything else…however inconvenient or difficult. Integrity is the only path upon which you will never get lost.

...The rest are at Expat Women.

Montevideo Suburb, Atlantida...

we headed east an north and followed Ruta 1 up the Rio de la Plata and then the Atlantic Ocean.  Antlantida is a nice suburb of Montevideo.

once out of the city proper, neighborhood streets (even upper income areas) were well maintained dirt roads.  No washboarding ever.

Montevideo in pictures...

This is a beautiful modern "european style" city and is a lot like buenas aires, but smaller and slightly quieter.

we were originally greeted with showers and some thunder and lightning. we loved it.  the weather here  flies through fast since there are no high mountain chains to block or slow the moving weather patterns.

this is La Rambla that runs all the way around the city's beachfront.

a typical beautiful street.  Uruguayans really love trees as much as Argentinians.
