A New Birthday Challenge: To Learn Something New Everyday!

It's time again for DEB'S BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE! This year I am 72!! How many times have you heard, or said yourself, “You learn something new every day.” But do we really? This is my birthday challenge: to learn 366 things this next year! (2024 is a Leap Year!)

Why? I’m fairly curious, but I would like to increase my curiosity, especially after being in a Pandemic Bubble. This will also be a good example for my granddaughters: an “old dog” CAN learn new tricks! I believe in lifelong learning and this year I will put my “journal where my mouth is!”

My “rules” (It’s MY challenge and I may change them!): I’m going to learn 366 new things – not necessarily one each day. I know that life will get in the way sometimes and I’ll need to “double up” when it does. The posts will be dated for each day of the year, but the actual day I write them will be at the end of each item.

My fears: That you will read my new fact and say, “You didn’t already know that?” LOL Hey, I finally learned it! And I hope I don’t learn 366 disjointed facts, but occasionally will see patterns, or draw new insights or connections. I’m sure that won’t happen with every new thing I learn, but hopefully, it will happen often, or at least occasionally.
