How to do something new every month
It made me
Proud of myself
 "Doing something new pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to discover new interests."
How I did it: I acted as if I was a tourist in my town at first by getting information from the Chamber of Commerce. I also checked local bookstores for groups with similar interests and asked everyone I met if there was anything they would recommend I see and do. All of these resources gave me ideas for things I could do at least once every month. Lessons & tips: The hardest part is actually getting out and doing something. Be open to trying everything at least once. Check out your local paper for local weekend event. You'll be surprised how many free things you can find to do. Resources: Meetup.com was a great starting point to finding established groups with similar interests.

It made me
happy!
How I did it: I kept my eyes open for opportunities, which often came about through my fiance, who likes to take me to new places and show me new things! After a few months I realized it was something I did not have to push myself to do, since trying new things is something that I strive to do in my everyday life anyway. Once I realized that, I decided that I could check this goal off my list! Read how I did it…

It made me
Very happy!
How I did it: I decided to do something new every so often, even if it was totally random. Sometimes it was as simple as walking into town instead of driving or walking a different route to the shops. Then I decided to get into baking and cooking different things which I really enjoy. I'd open a cookery book and pick a new recipe each week.Then there were things like trips. I picked places I hadn't been before. Some of them local, or in the same countr… Read how I did it…

I was invited to a friend’s home for Coal Country Movie Night, a
“screening of documentary about where and how the coal burned to give us electricity comes from. Clean coal? I don’t think so …”
This was a Sierra Club event, and although it was a rainy, chilly night, I kept my promise to attend. I learned much about coal mining and it’s devastating effects to our environment. I had no idea that entire mountain tops are blown away and stripped, and was glad I decided to attend and not back out.

I looked because I thought it was a cool idea, but now its been added to my list, so I guess I better start doing something new every month!!! I think recently tho, I have been pretty good. I went to aerobics and tone classes at the gym. I’ve up my speed on the treadmill. I started in a new hospital. So I think I managed it this month, now to start planning for the next month…..

Went on a tour of artist Tom Otterness’studio as part of Open house NY; I’d tried to go last year, but the spots filled up too quickly. Very cool.
Attended the Feast of St. Francis and Blessing of the Animals at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine for the first time. It was wild to see the whole animal kingdom -turtles, cats, llamas, birds, etc. at the church. I’d been meaning to go for years and always missed it. It felt right to go right after Delilah died.

Halloween was a double wammy: Trick-or-treating with my friends toddler grandkids and then dressing up to go out to the bars afterwards (I was a mourner).
