My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we’ll seek out a fruit or vegetable we’ve never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?

    After Reddit shut off 3rd party apps, I came here and resolved to read more. In the previous decade I had read maybe 2 books. I think your resolution is achievable but i would make it ridiculously achievable of reading like 1 min a day.

    The habit of reading is what you want and the books will come after that and chances are you will read much longer. Don’t read anything you “should” be reading. Get a “popcorn flick” equivalent that you interests you and isn’t challenging.

    Here is what I have read since June.
