This November I Will....

Oh my goodness! So many great ideas for November! I LOVE the music challenge! I will have to join in that one for sure just because I rarely listen to music but when I do, it truly lifts my soul and brings such joy!!
I'm also very drawn to what @texasgardnr is doing! So I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to do the "Small daily focus" and "Anti-procrastination mission" in November, as well as the November singing (because that's just too fun not to join!) I think the Small Daily Focus & Anti-Procrastination Mission will help me get the house nice and ready for the holidays without having to bust our buns running around last minute scrubbing and shoving crap into drawers to get it off countertops!
Nov 5 Small Daily Focus: Clean refrigerator and countertop next to it near back door.
Anti-Procrastination Mission: Drop off donate boxes and bags at Bethesda Thrift Shop
Songs:
Nov 1: Yellow Brick Road 🎼🎵🎶
Nov 2: 867-5309 / Jenny
Nov 3: Summer of 69
Nov 4: You're so Vain
Nov 5: Brown Eyed Girl 🎼🎵🎶

@PackerFanInGB I thought of You’re So Vain for day 4 as well, but I couldn’t think of anyone who fit the bill.
My Day 5 song is Defying Gravity.
Day 6 is Dancing Queen3 -
This November I Will... I will cook with healthy alternatives, use spices, and explore healthy recipes outside my comfort zone.6

Oh, that sounds like a great area for your “I Will”!
Will you do one of these once a day? A meal?0 -

Pleased to see the new members in the group. I hope you come back often.
@Michaela_LaGata <> I also,practice the 12/12 IF system, aiming for 9pm - 9am fast, although I often fast longer than 12 hours if I have an even later breakfast.
@Ladybug8882021 <> Retirement is an excellent opportunity to set up a healthy routine. This is a good place to get encouragement for the process. Bravo on the walking Habit you have already started. There are lots of features on Fitbit that can help you reach your goal.
@themedalist <> Denise, love all the photos of Florence. They bring back happy memories of one of our trips to Italy.

Hi everyone! i hope everyone had a great weekend and is having a great Monday! I had a list of about a hundred things I wanted to do today, but I didn't get to any of them. I decided that visiting my mother and not being in a hurry for anything was priority today so that is what I did. Housework will wait, right?
@themedalist I didn't have any miles to add last week. My knees and ankle were really bad and I didn't go for any walks.
Sorry! You guys had a GREAT Walktober though and I wish I could have contributed more!
I'm enjoying researching songs and playing them loud while I sing and dance around the house to them! Great idea!

awww, @PackerFanInGB, of course I do not mind you also doing the "Small daily focus" and "Anti-procrastination mission" in November!!! It certainly has been helping me be more focused so far this month. The idea came to me because we were finally able to have my daughter and some of her friends over on Saturday for pizza and to play games. It helped me focus on something specific each day which jump-started me to do some additional tidy/ cleaning each day and, like you said, everything wasn't left to the last minute scramble 😓😖😱 to get it done... as it so often happens to me. We had a really fun time together!
I am going to continue with this since another of our adult children is coming to visit at the very end of November, this time it is one who lives out of state so he is staying for several days. I need to keep up with what I have done so far and focus on getting the guest bedroom cleaned out since I have been using it as a "storage-room" or the place to put things that I am not ready to make a decision about. ⏳😵❓.
I just read your list thus far and there just might be some good ideas for me that I just might be able to borrow over time 😁🙃.
I am so sorry to read that your knees and ankle were really bad and that you were not able to go for any walks. Hugs 💗💐.
I'm really enjoying reading all of the songs 🎵 that everyone is finding/ singing! Many of them bring back different memories of one sort or another that I have forgotten about. Or just the fun of the song itself, which I also had forgotten. Thank you!

Day 9 - A song that makes you happy- “Picnic Time for Teddy Bears.” My husband heard me singing “Go Ask Alice,” and my husband said that sounds like that song you used to sing with the kids when they were little and we figured out that he meant the Teddy Bears song. We sang it together and enjoyed the sweet memories.
But I don’t think the two songs sound at alike. 🤣4 -

Oh my, @TerriRichardson112 I haven’t thought of Mungo Jerry’s “I’ve got a brand new pair of rollerskates“ in years! Thanks for the blast from the past.
I am just loving the songs you all have selected. There are some that I’m adding to my guitar database, so that I can practice them. Some I haven’t heard before and that makes it fun to go to YouTube and check them out.
I’ve been working on tidying up every evening, but I thought of something even more pressing for me to focus on: bringing more light into my life. The shorter days really get to me. I miss sunlight and always look forward to December 21 when the days start to become longer again.
I’m doing two things to bring more light into my life. I purchased a light therapy lamp, aptly named the “Happy Light”. And I’m using it twice a day, morning and night. Still too soon to say if I notice a difference, but I do like the bright light.
i’m also using BitGym in the evening to travel someplace bright and sunny. Escaping the dark and cold for even 20 to 30 minutes makes such a difference and I love that I’m cycling on my mini elliptical and getting some exercise while I’m doing these beautiful tours. If you use cardio equipment, I can’t recommend BitGym enough. It’s definitely made me enjoy exercising more!
This week I went and explored Crete and it was bright and sunny the whole time. Lovely!
