Lessons Learned from...The rest of 2010

I might be premature in assuming that I'll learn a lesson from the rest of this year, but I hope not. In case you haven't noticed, as of late I've been slow in my absorption of life's lessons. To combat this developmental sluggishness and provide structure, each remaining month of my life for 2010 will have a distinct and alliterative focus:

• Abstinence August (I will abstain from all sweets and alcohol)
• Smarty-pants September (I will immerse myself in a new academic discipline)
• Others October (I will do something meaningful for someone else each week)
• Nothing November (I will buy nothing other than necessities for the entire month)
• Daring December (I will do one thing that scares me each week)

I'll be recording my struggles and accomplishments as they happen.
