Challenging Myself: Challenge One 2020 - The One Hundred Books Challenge

Challenge One 2020 - The One Hundred Books Challenge - Update

Some of you might remember that right at the start of this year I set myself a year long Challenge to read 100 books in a year. The link above will take you to that post.

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy I thought to myself, that's just one 'readable book' and one recipe book a week ... I can do that no problem.

Ha!!

And THIS LINK will take you to the regularly updated list of books that I have read.

I am not doing that well am I ... I am up to book number 29!

I thought I would be reading more, especially when lockdown hit, but it seems not. I can't explain it, I used to always be found with my nose in a book. Now I can pick up a book meaning to read for a while and get distracted far too easily. It seems I need to relearn to focus more intently, perhaps read more books that really call out to me or are recommended.

At the moment I am reading this, and it's a nice easy read so it will be one more ticked off my list by the end of the weekend.

Only 71 to go then!!

In Ration Challenge News

I got an email the other day from Eric , see it below. They announced a Flash Fundraising Award thingy on Facebook and luckily for me some of my donations came in just at the right time to earn me the choice of two teaspoons of coffee or sugar to be used at any time during Ration Challenge Week.

Of course I chose coffee 😁

What a lovely treat that will be at some time, I think I will save it for when I really need it. And of course I will say it again, THANK YOU so very much for the amazing amount of money you have donated up to now.

Hi Sue,

Thank you so much for your amazing fundraising efforts!

This is just a quick email to confirm that your fundraising during the flash reward has earned you 2 tsp of instant coffee OR sugar that you can enjoy during your Ration Challenge, and to say thank you for really going above and beyond.

And if you haven’t already, don’t forget to thank everyone who helped you earn this reward.

Thanks again!

Eric

Ohh, the coffee will taste so good on the couple of days that you just might need that pick up.

God bless.

Why .....

I love a Challenge ... with a big C ... I always have. Why would anyone take the easy road when you can take a swervey, rocky and much more interesting one ... and actually learn something about yourself on the journey.

The idea of this blog is to chart some of my Challenges over the course of the next year or so. Some might last the distance and teach me something along the way, some might be serious and perhaps even a tad inspirational.

Some might just fizzle and die a remarkably quick death. I've been known to leave things unfinished ...

Disclaimer

Challenging Myself is my blog.

I use it to chart the Challenges I set myself and what I do day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year.

In it I also express my views and opinions and say what I do and occasionally how I do it. All saved for posterity ... and to amuse myself in my grand old age.

If you chose to copy or follow along with anything that I do or talk about doing, it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques that I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.

The pictures on each blog post are taken by me, or on occasion found on Google Images, unless otherwise credited, and as such my photographs should not be borrowed or used elsewhere without my consent.
