Sigh. It's November 29 as I write this and I haven't even pulled my slip of paper for this week! I'm going back to my One Thing in 2018 . . . it lacks some of the fun variety and group participation aspect, but it works for me!
Week 45 (Nov. 5-11) I had #31: "Perform one act of proactive political action this week." I'm sad that I don't regularly do this! It seems like an exercise in futility, yet I know I should be more civically engaged. I intended to contact my representatives about the BWCA and keeping the copper mining out. I meant to contact the powers that be about protecting net neutrality. There were so many issues and so many missed opportunities. I finally called the FCC about the net neutrality issue. Probably too little, too late, but at least I tried.
Week 46 (Nov. 12-18) I drew #44: "Plan or plant wildlife friendly plants where you live, work or play - a pollen friendly plant maybe?" I planted some tulip bulbs, replanted the thyme that I'd had in a container on the deck, and trimmed back the plants by my mailbox area.
Week 47 (Nov. 19-25), I got #43: "Practice your handwriting skills this week - notes to others, shopping lists, etc." I didn't actually *practice* it, but I do a fair amount of longhand writing on a regular basis. Besides lists, I journal and write (and send) notes and cards to people. I like to joke that cursive writing is a secret code adults can use - kids can't read it!
Okay, I'm going to call this caught up and grab a slip of paper for this week.
