I'm doing 43 things
Autumn. My Favorite Season. I love the smell of it
Daydreaming. When I’m absolutely bored this fills the time well.
History. I love looking into the past to see the way things were.
Music. Possibly the greatest discovery of all time.
My Kitty Cat. He’s a little brat, but he’s like my furry child.
New Pillows. Like sleeping on a cloud
Snow. My favorite part of winter.
Stars. Like Little Diamonds in the sky.
Sunsets. I saw a sunset in the water at the beach. Amazing.
TV Shows. I’m totally hooked on Dexter and the Walking Dead.

How I did it
It made me
Feel Good 
How I did it: A very easy race to complete. I'm a bigger man and I ran the race in 43 minutes. The big 5k in my area is our annual turkey trot, which many other cities have around thanksgiving. Pace yourself, and have fun. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel good
How I did it: When I did the first turkey trot I weighed twenty pounds more than I weigh now. Now I weigh less and walk way more. I finished the 5k turkey trot last time in 56:20. My new time is 43:13. I beat it by a whole 13 minutes!!! Weigh less exercise more is how you get better at any race. Read how I did it…

I helped my mother decorate our house this year and we made the front page of our local newspaper for doing so. I would think if I made front page my house was decorated well enough to complete this goal. It was awesome to finally see myself on the front page for something I helped create. The picture is me and my mom posing for the newspaper :)
