At the end of May I decided to end my Challenge of 2010 (I did do new things through May… I just went on vacation and forgot to write them down before I took off).
It wasn’t because it was too hard. It actually was a lot easier in the last couple months. Once you get in the habit of doing new things, it starts to come naturally!
I stopped because I realized I wasn’t going anywhere. I had no goals. There was nothing I was striving for, working towards… I was just wandering around haphazard-like. This might work for some people, but it wasn’t working for me.
So I decided that for the sake of my quality of life, I would put the blog aside and become involved in more meaningful things and things I enjoy. I plan to become involved consistently with a few community groups and spend time doing some of the things I’ve learned that I enjoy thanks to this Challenge. And, of course, I will continue to do new things!
Since I stopped blogging, I’ve still been keeping things fresh! A visit to Orlando and Walt Disney World with my sister held LOTS of new experiences, and I’ve done some other fun stuff, such as:
- Contribute to a Guinness World Record
- Rent a car
- Purchase lumber
- Appear on tv
- Go to a court hearing
- Get a second opinion (dr.)
- Go to physical therapy
- Waterproof a tent
- Drink Greek wine
- Host a Girls’ Night with coworkers
- Zip lining (coming July 10!)
- A couple Personal Folder items
- And lots of other things that I don’t remember off the top of my head!
Cheers to new, different, and fun things! Cheers to doing what you have to do to feel good about how you spend each and every day!
Thanks for reading!
