35 Update
It has been four months since my birthday and two months since I made this year's bucket-list public. It seemed like a perfect time review how things are going.Completed challenges are written in purple.
The 35:
1) Choose a "My One Word"
I am still working through the process of choosing a word.
2) Read the whole Bible
Bit by bit :).
3) Paint the canvas
It's still blank.
4) Go on a spiritual retreat
I attended Mark East.
5) Fill a journal
6) Take a course
7) Write more
8) Read more
9) Dance more
10) Draw (almost) weekly
11) Be thankful
12) Make 500 cards
13) Do something I've been putting off
14) Experience Summer
I've gone on a road trip, rode a paddle boat, on to hikes, visit a few rock beaches, swam in a lake, gone camping, roasted marshmallows, tried kayaking, andwalked on the boardwalk while watching buskers. It's been a good summer. Things I would still like to do is canoe, visit a beach, swim in the ocean, and even sleep under the stars.
15) Learn to cook five dishes
I've been enjoying cooking this month. I tried poaching an egg today; the roommate agreed it was a success.

The tickets are bought, the room booked, and costumes are being created. I am so excited.

I did too!
Isn't it wonderful?
I went out in a kayak for the first time last weekend (hmmm? ... seems longer ago than that) It was the last weekend in August anyway.
I was at Brigadoon - Camp Brigadoon/Brigadoon Village - for three days and that was one of the activities.
I want to try kayaking again, now that I've been told a bit more about the proper way to paddle. (I was late getting to the dock so missed out on any and all pre-paddle instructions.)
