planning/organising/procrastinating

so i'm rapidly approaching the end of a week off work where i had pledged to myself to plan things, to get organised, but instead spent it procrastinating and not getting a whole lot done. oh dear...

i wanted to put the final touches on my 30 before 30 (or 30x30 for short), as i've already commenced one of my challenges - no meat for a month. i would like nothing more than to eat a juicy, charcoal roasted chicken leg right now, but it's only been 10 days i'm sure i can last the other 20. very glad i chose a month with 30 days in it.

one of my challenges i had on my list was to do something daring or exciting, like skydiving. i have never entertained the idea of doing something so scary, so it'll definitely be something new for me.

i had the opportunity to learn of a wonderful charity during the week called the telethon adventurers, which was started by rick parish, who sadly lost his son elliot to cancer. it was so heartbreaking to hear his story, but at the same time incredibly inspiring to hear that he's doing so much to raise money for research to find a cure for childhood cancer. i don't think any parent should have to go through what rick and his wife emily have, so if there's any way i can somehow help them and their cause i will.

please make sure to check out their website.
