Would you like to join the “Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast” Club?

Ruth, of Silver Screenings fame and one of my favourite people from my days in Calgary, wrote a comment on my post “six impossible things before breakfast” that gave me an idea.

What if I actually adopted this philosophy? What if I chose six of the things I’ve wanted to do that have, over the years, begun to look more and more impossible and/or improbable, and start believing in them? What if I started a “club” and invited others to join in?

~~~~~~

So, here are the “whys and wherefores”. . .

~~~~~~

If you would like to be a member of the Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast Club, simply:

1) Make a list of six things you’ve basically given up on or that more often than not seem impossible/improbable.

2) Look at the list every morning before breakfast, “seeing” yourself being/doing/having each one.

Whether you post your “six impossible things” or not, is up to you. I think it’d be fun to document what happens in some way, but how you do it is your choice.

As a member, you’re welcome to include the stylish SITBBC logo in your posts and/or on your sidebar. :o)

• If you work with Mac, you can click on the image while holding down the control key. It’ll bring up a menu that gives you a choice (among other things) to “Save Image to ‘Downloads'” — or you can click on “Save Image As…” if you’d like to put it in a different folder.
• For PCs, right-click on the image, then choose “Save picture as” which brings up a directory. Choose where you’d like to save it, and click “save.”
• Once it’s on your computer, you can insert it into a post in the same way as any other image.
• If you want to include the logo in your sidebar, there are instructions at “http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/image-widget/#image-widget-title” on how to use an image widget.

And here are my “six impossible things”. . .

1) Get enough sleep regularly. For me that means 9-10 hours/night.

2) Finish writing/editing my first novel.

3) Have a well-organized home. Have nothing in our place that we “do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” (William Morris) The main benefits I’m looking for are having a home that’s easy to maintain and never having to sort through another pile of papers.

4) Pay off my husband’s student loan debt within the next two years — all $200k+ of it. Ideas are welcome!

5) To travel. Go overseas on the QM2, see the Guthrie Castle in Scotland (one of my clan’s home bases, now a bed & breakfast), walk in Monet’s garden, and see some of his original paintings — those beautifully textured blobs and smears :o)

6) To have my own art studio that opens into a garden.

And while I’m at it, I think I’ll throw in a couple more for fun —

7) Be taller; and 8) Have great hair! :o)

What do you say, would you like to join the club?
