Hello! Having just turned 30, I decided that I am going to try one new thing every day for the year. This is an experiment intended to better myself and broaden my (sometimes narrow) horizon. Some of the things will be big and exciting and some will be small, but I can assure you that each will be brand new to me. If you have any suggestions, please let me know as I only have a few weeks planned out at the moment. I will update every day or two so you can track my progress.
Some things you should know about me: I am a great friend, love beer, kayaking, jogging, skiing, and reading. I am terrified of the dark and I believe in ghosts (remind me to tell you about the time my apartment, where a woman was murdered about a decade earlier, called 911…). I would spend every last dime on traveling- I have a great need to see the world. I have insomnia and I love to drink coffee- this may be related. I love my family. Basically, I am a fairly average person and that is why this experiment is important to me. I want to challenge myself to get out of my comfort zone. Cheers!
Sandy I happen to stumble over your blog to read that you had learned how to jumprope backwards. What go you motivated to do this. I am a master jump roper who has spent my last 25 years perfecting sport and dance movement jumping backwards.
I am really interested in your learning process!!!
So my year is officially over. I am now 31. I have done more than one new thing each day (some days have bonus things) but I fulfilled my goal of at least one for 365 continuous days. However I cannot say goodbye to my blog. I will continue to update, just not every day. Things you can look forward to:
-ogoing
-teeth whitening
-skydiving
-reading 52 books (see Reading is Fun! page)
-going to Iceland
With many thanks, I look forward to continuing to blog. I am open to suggestions for new things, too. Thanks a million!
-Sandy
Update: I just checked and I have 390 posts. Since a few of those are updates, I would estimate I did 385 new things over the past year.
