In December or January I saw a layout in one of Candice's scrapbooking magazines about a woman who made a goal to do some thing new for every year of her age (so if she's 40, she tries 40 new things). She repeats the goal every year on her birthday. I think it's such a great idea.
I'm always looking for new ways to learn and grow so I started my list in January, and so far I'm up to 17 things. I've started to learn to play the guitar, I saw Cirque du Soleil for the first time, I started this blog, I tried deep fried chicken livers (which are seriously gross, but didn't kill me) and Philedelphia rolls (which I loved), I visited the Ohio Caverns with Larry, and tried some other fun new things and I think that my life is just a little more full. I hope it's a tradition I'll carry on.
Any ideas about what I should try next? Just think of all the possible new adventures out there . . .
1. Plant a vegi garden
ReplyDelete2. Take a tap dancing or ballroom dancing class.
3. Paint your good friend Laura's little girls room like your family room only with pink stripes.
4. Try different fruits and vegitables for a few months. Have you ever had a plantain?
5. Take a painting or drawing class.
These are my top five ideas. I have personally done number 1,2, and 5 and I plan on doing the rest very soon.
Sounds like you've got a lot of new things accomplished in a very short time. Congrats!

I say lots of kissing your husband.
ReplyDeletePlus I like most of Mark's suggestions.
