May JoyDare: Week 2 (&3)

Recurring theme here is that I'm struggling with the counting of the gifts, of not quitting on the JoyDare.  Lately the pessimism is reigning (or is it raining) supreme, and I'm having a hard time sticking with it... pray for me?

Here's my attempt to keep going, even when I don't feel like it.
