Day 5

• Today I showed the virtue of cleanliness, “Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.” I got up early in the morning cleaned the living room, dust everything while my mom was cleaning the restroom. In order for everything to be well organized you must clean so that everything can be in its proper place. When I was done cleaning I was so pleased because afterwards the living room and my room smelled good. When my dad came home from work he walked into the living room and he said that it smelled good.
• Today I ignored the virtue of temperance, “eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.” I was not very controlling about my actions and about my emotions. I was angry because my godmother said my boyfriend was with another girl and I let someone’s words get to me before actually asking my boyfriend. I did not understand and comprehend that she was only playing with me and instead I took it too serious. I understand that my actions had a major consequence in my life; I understand that next time before getting mad I need to ask. I also ignored this virtue by eating a lot of food even though I knew that I was full. I kept on eating because the food was good. I was harming myself because my body was rejecting the food by letting me know that I did not need to keep eating, even though I knew I was full I kept eating the food.
