Glowworm originally suggested doing 30 challenges .... in the style of Illuminata's challenges on the prior forum.

Illuminata used to do 30 days in a row of challenges ... during a season, or in preparation for an event. They are fun, goofy, and inspiring.

Most importantly, they can be SMALL challenges (or as large as you wish). Just do take one action (of the theme of the day) to make your life better. It can be a little thing.

Here's how Glowworm beautifully explained the concept:

For those who didn't see this on the old board, Illuminata picked a word for the day, and challenged the rest of us to find something to desqualor or clean that was related to that word. For example, if the word was "cold" you could clean out old food in your refrigerator (which is cold inside) or pick up tissues off the floor from the cold you had last week, or pick up your coat (which you wore because it was cold outside that day) and hang it in the closet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These types of challenges are fun, crazy, and creative. They can be done as a game, for the whole family.

You can do them in any order.
They can be done at any time.
You can just post enthusiastic support, if that's all you wish to post about.

Word for the day is

[glow=red,2,300]Appointment[/glow]

Do you have an appointment you've been meaning to make?

Doctor? Dentist? Mammogram? Pap Smear? Optometrist?

Today's the day!

Take a deep breath. Pick up the phone. It'll only take a minute or so. And DONE!

I called and made the following appointments;

*ultrasound for persistent ovarian cyst (I've been procrastinating on this since July)

*family doctor for flu shot & elavil Rx renewal

*cleaning lady for Friday before my 60th birthday (treat)

I am still trying to reach the people who clean our eaves (high ladders needed, DH can't do this anymore)

thank you so much for this inspiration!

I made an appointment to see a nutritionist!

And my doctor phoned me to remind me to schedule an appointment for a colonoscopy.

Both of these appointments will aid in improving and analyzing my digestive habits ... and I am looking forward to planning healthier meals.
