I wont make fifty in 2015 but I will get a bookshelf cleared.

January of this year brought a new challenge. A Goodreads group asked members to read fifty books in 2015. There are some challenges that I like and some that I don’t. A past challenge that was fun was on my every other a day jog by running longer and longer each time. My runs started at twenty minutes and in four years they were up to three and half hours. Alas, we all face challenges that are not fun, like furniture assembly.

Now I’ve but together my share of armoires and bookcases but there is so much fun in those tasks that I now share the enjoyment with others. They’re commonly called handymen and if you pay them they will have a rip-roaring time putting together your five drawer dresser.

My intention in January was to feel the euphoria of being able to say come New Year’s Eve, I did it! I read fifty books in 2015. Yup, that was my intention. It must be reported with almost two-thirds of the 2015 in the rear view mirror that when the ball drops in Times Square I will not have read fifty books this year.

I will however be able to have the satisfaction of having cleared twenty books from one of my “to-be-read” bookshelves. A bookshelf that I actually put together all by myself.
