Motivation – Where do you find your motivation on days when it’s hard to keep pressing on? I look at my husband, whether he’s awake and reading a book, or asleep in the bed or on the couch napping. I look at him and that always brings me a smile. I look at our sonContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 9”

Buttontapper Challenge: Day 8
Monthly Challenges – Do you participate in any other monthly challenges? Which ones, and why (or why not)? In addition to this challenge, I hope to take part again in the April A to Z Challenge. The rewards for completing that one in 2016 were tremendous. Through my “E is for Eritrea” post, one ofContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 8”
Buttontapper Challenge: Day 7
STOP Doing – What are some of the things you want to STOP doing this year, and just let go? Once again, making a list of what I will stop doing is dangerously close to making a New Year’s resolution. So this one will be short, too. I plan to stop wasting time by watchingContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 7”
Buttontapper Challenge: Day 6
Start Doing – What are some things you want to start doing this year? This had better be a short list since I already have more on my plate than I can handle.

Any goal I can write up as aContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 5”

Big Dreams – What are you dreaming about doing this year? Tell us about something you’ve been obsessed with, or that you’re just beginning to visualize.

This Year’s Plans – What have you got planned for 2018? Show us some pictures of your planner! I have one big event planned and one goal I hope to complete in 2018. The big event is a trip to Norway with my sister. We won’t be taking a typical tour package. My sister hasContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 3”

New Year’s Resolutions? – Do you or don’t you? Why or why not? I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions. Why not? Because I haven’t figured out the secret of selecting meaningful resolutions that will end with success. If I can succeed at following a resolution all year long, it is likely something lacking in significance.Continue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 2”
Buttontapper Challenge: Day 1
Introductions – Introduce yourself! Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you decide to join the challenge. The first 21 years of my life I spent trying to get away from my home town. Life in my home town was boring. All I had to do to prove this was turn on the TVContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 1”
