365 Days of -----------

I’m a recent fan of Pinterest. I swore up and down I wasn’t going to get started on this as I figured it would be just another tool to suck my time mindlessly on the internet. Did this ever prove me wrong! Sure, I admit I roam around looking at my home page and viewing other people’ pins, and I’ve even repined several myself. What I didn’t realize was how many clever and creative people are out there. And there are so many times that I say to myself, “Why didn’t I think of that”? I’ve even made recipes that other people post and made a few crafty items. Now this brings me to today’s post.
365 Days
Someone posted that in the year 2013, they are going to take a photo a day for365 days. This got me to thinking. Sure, I would like to take a picture on my SLR camera every day, but maybe there is something else that’s more important to me that I should do. I’ve come up with a short list of things that I may pursue.
*Eat healthy (that means no processed sugar)
*Exercise in some shape or form
*Learn a new language
*Track my spending
*Recycle
*Say I Love You to someone
*No t.v.
*Sew or work on a craft project
*No shopping (other than for groceries and household items)
*Do something that involves music
*Do something “green” everyday
*Blogging (Not going to happen here)
*Journaling
*Do something nice for someone (without them asking)
*Take a picture
*Meditate
*Be Greatful
*Smile at a Stranger
*No personal driving (I can ride with my someone else, but otherwise must  bike, walk or take public transportation)

These are just a few ideas. I think I’ll probably try one or two on a daily basis, and practice the others year round (but not daily). How about you? Are you up for the 365 day challenge? Why wait until 2013? I challenge you to start today!

*I've also found a website with other great ideas.  Maybe I'll try a few of them as well. You can find it at http://the365daychallenge.com/the-list/
