Last year a friend of mine inspired me. She wanted to grow. So to stretch beyond her normal views of life so she set a goal for each month. She chose something to do, or abstain from to help her see life in a new way. I had a lot of fun reading through her many adventures. One month she became a vegetarian. Another month she abstained from reading any celebrity gossip. With each month she shared her quirky stories along with the lessons she learned from each goal.
The past few weeks I have been pondering about some changes I would like to make in my life. Some things I want to do are small, others seem insurmountable. As I was thinking about how I would be able to accomplish all of these goals, my thought turned to my friend's experience with her blog and so this blog idea of mine was born (stolen). And although it is two months past the start of the new year, to me a late start is better than no start at all.
I do not claim to be a great writer. I used to wish I could eloquently express all the thoughts in my head in a way that others would be able to crisply feel and see what I was thinking. As time has gone on I realize that is not one of my talents. However, despite my apparent lack of talent in writing, I am still starting this blog. I am starting this blog to keep myself accountable and to have a record of the things I hope to learn from my monthly goals. I titled the blog "Operation Stretch" because I hope to stretch myself in ways I have not experienced so far in my life. I am excited to get started. I hope you'll have as much fun reading my experiences as I did reading my friend's last year.
