First Challenge...?


Maybe it's because October is rapidly approaching, or maybe it's because I'm sick of looking slightly to my left whenever I'm Facebooking and having 'the book' stare me back in the face. Either way, I figured it's high time I got this mission in gear. So here I am flipping through the pages and I've run into a spot of trouble.

I couldn't decide which challenge to tackle first and doing them in order isn't really possible considering number one is 'send a message in a bottle' and number two is 'run up an escalator the wrong way'. For the record, I've already done that one. Several times. So I elected to flip to a random page and wound up with 'start your own blog'. I've already done this one, too. It even name-drops blogger.com AND amongst it's many suggestions for choosing a topic is blogging about completing each challenge. I'm starting to think this book was a clever way to part me with my hard-earned thirteen Canadian dollars. Or is it?

I think anything that inspires a person to get out and make the most of their life no matter what age they are can't be bad. And a nice detail of 'the book' is that they list other challenges that can be done simultaneously. Here they've listed 'keep a dream diary', 'stay up all night', and 'write a story and get it published'. I never dream so that's out of the question, and anyone who has attended college or had a baby (in my case both at the same time) has pulled more than their fair share of all-nighters so it looks as though I'll have to do the story challenge at some point. But for now I guess I can cheat a little and consider my first challenge out of the way and call it a night. I'm even gonna put a star on the chart for good measure. Take that, book!
