While Fall doesn’t officially begin until September 22nd,
my Summer of Service, Season of Spark and Triumphant challenges are over. I
can’t believe all the things that have happened! When I got laid off, these
lyrics from Queen’s “We Are the Champion” was fresh in my mind, “I consider it
a challenge before the whole human race and I ain’t gonna lose.” Right now, I
definitely feel like winning.
-Becoming a Friends of the Multnomah County Library Board
Member
-Feeling continually supported by others with my decisions in life
-Getting a job at Green Bean Books
-Reaching my goal to volunteer 200 hours by the end of
summer
-Volunteering at so many wonderful places and getting to
meet cool people
-(Something else I’m keeping to myself until I meet up
with you guys in person. It’s rare I actually have something to share so that’s
why I’m waiting.)
I wasn’t going to start a challenge for September but I
felt so reinvigorated after spending time with friends that I decided to not
have one but four challenges, one for every week of the month!
RESTART- Get back into the swing
of things
REVIEW- Prepare what I should do
next and how to go about it
RECHARGE- Focus on health and
get back that spark
RENEW- Everything old will be
new again as I plan on moving again around this time
RESTART week has gone wonderfully well.
Of course, just because these are weekly challenges
doesn’t mean they won’t overlap and carry over. I know for RECHARGE week, I want
to “make time for friends” since they make me happy. So I’ll REVIEW when the
best times to get together are.
When summer started, I was filled with excitement of what
the future held for me. I’m happy to say, I’m as excited- if not, more!-of what
else awaits me, of what dreams may come.
