2013 Year in Review

This year has been pretty busy... Here are some new things I tried in 2013.

365 Photos: For many people, the challenge is to actually take a picture every day of the year. For me, the challenge was to choose the best picture of the hundreds I take each day. What a wonderful exercise in restraint! Amazing how each picture evokes emotions from particular days and events, no matter how mundane I thought them to be at first.

100 Day Streak

I haven’t had much time for blogging lately after my pre-scheduled posts all posted themselves while we were out of town, but I have been faithfully keeping up with writing my 750 words every day!

When I wrote about it way back in January, I thought it sounded like a fun idea. I grew to enjoy it, but I didn’t know how long it would last. I had signed up for the monthly challenge, which I am sad to say I did not complete that month (February) – I completely forgot about it one day, and I looked at the clock and it was already midnight. Since then I have set my phone alarm to go off every evening at 11:03 to remind me to write if I haven’t already. It seems to be working – all the other monthly challenges I have since signed up for, I have been successful at completing!

750 Words Every Day

I’ve filled up my fair share of journals over the years.

 

Not all my writing has been full of deep, meaningful thoughts, of course. When I was 10 years old, I purposed to record all the food we ate. It lasted for 2 days.
