enjoy the third quarter of 2008 by having one NEW and FULFILLING experience in July, August, and September

It is a little early but this goal is SO done already!

• the audition last night DEFINITELY counts towards this – totally new, totally fulfilling, and if I get in to the choir then it’ll totally change my life for the better! :D
• last weekend I went to visit my friends’ baby, he was very new, and the afternoon of gurgly, giggly cuddles was definitely fulfilling!
• I’ve been making the most of my new piano, learnt a new piece that I’ve wanted to learn ever since I was a kid, wrote a song or two…
• at the end of next week I am going on holiday on my own for a week of complete peace and quiet, to a place I’ve never been before… if that’s not new and fulfilling I dunno what is!!

I think that should round off September pretty fulfillingly!

August has been a truly fantastic month! So much has happened that has been new AND fulfilling…

• I started my own little online stationery empire (www.profusemoose.etsy.com) and actually sold some stuff!
• I booked my first ever beach holiday in a country I’ve never been to before
• I bought a piano!!!
• I went to a party with llamas and saw a very different side to life…
• I had first, second, third (and potential fourth) dates with a really wonderful guy – we’ve been having a great time and are well suited for each other.

There has been a lot of joy this month, it definitely ranks up their with my happiest months so far :D

It’s been a crazy old month, lots of planned and unplanned events! Not all of them were new but most of them were in some way, and lots of them were fulfilling!!

• I stayed over at V’s house (not new in itself!) and went to cheer her running her 10K (very new!) which was fulfilling in that I was able to support her before and afterwards, and see a load of the nicest bits of London in the process – it also made me think how cool it would be to do one one day.

• Went to see Twelfth Night at the Open Air Theatre – again the Theatre itself is not a new experience, but I went to a matinee with friends and we had a picnic in the park, so that was different. Lots of bonding with a couple of really old friends and lots of fun!

• Went to the Hayward Gallery with SL to see the Psycho Buildings exhibition – both new AND fulfilling! The pieces were effective and some of them quite challenging, I don’t think I will ever forget them! And we went to the renovated bar afterwards (new!) and then for yummy Japanese food (not new but anyway very ful filling!)

• Went to Chessington (a theme park) with R, actually we did exactly this last year, got soaked and screamed a lot, fulfilling!!

A few non-eventy type ones:

• I’m single! That’s new! It has the potential to be very fulfilling!

• I started thinking about making and selling my own stationery, that was a completely new idea for July, and very very motivating, exciting and fulfilling!!

• I passed the halfway point on my BMI goal, so I guess I am having a new and fulfilling experience of being a weight I haven’t been in ten or twelve years…

July was quite tumultuous… I wonder what August has in store!

I’ve never done one of these before but I always love reading other people’s entries about them – so thanks for the invite! Now to find things that are New AND Fulfilling!
