There was a short talk on TED (linked above, Matt Cutts) about trying something new for 30 days. I decided it was high time I get my act together and make sure I was making goals and keeping them. Also, there were/are a few habits that I am not so good at remembering to do that I really need to incorporate into my life now or yesterday, or 12 years ago. So I decided that by taking the first two months of the challenge to get my habits in order would provide me with the confidence necessary to try SPARKLY ADVENTUROUS TRULY NEW THINGS after I'd gotten my ducks in a row in terms of things I should already be doing.
I started my first 30 days on Sept. 5. Slowly (but surely) I kept a tally of the new (but not really new) thing and only missed one day (and I missed it because I actually forgot, not because I didn't want to do the new thing)!! In my accounting, I am counting it!As small as a success as this is, it's now a new 30 days. So, I have one more habit that needs to be incorporated into my daily living and then I can move on to non-habit like NEW THINGS such as writing a novel, practicing my sewing, learning to play the harmonica, learning a language, or doing push-ups!

YAY for fun to do lists!!! I liked this TED talk too. :)
Awesome job! I've had this in the back of my mind and think I'm ready to start mine too. I like your method--getting your ducks in a row, then getting adventurous. You never cease to amaze and inspire, even with little things.
