Do you know the game Set?
Well, there is an online version. My cousin, Lynola, and I do it almost every day, and we email each other our times. We are happy if our times are under a minute. Over a minute is a bad day, and anything under 30 seconds is great. The other day I set a record of 16.808 sec.
Anyway, today I figured out that we have been doing this puzzle almost daily for around 8 years (though I am not exactly sure when in 2010 we started). If we spend about a minute a day on the puzzle, in the last 8 years we have each spent about 48 hours on the online set puzzle. Wow.

Reading
A couple years ago, I heard about a challenge between a mother and daughter to read a new book each month. I love to read fiction, so when I decided to try the challenge for myself, I modified it to reading a non-fiction book each month. I didn't quite achieve my goal, but in some months that I did not read an entire non-fiction book I did read fiction books I wouldn't normally go to, ones that challenged my faith and my perspective on life.
I have been blessed and challenged by many of the books that I have read in the past couple of years. Here is a list of what I can remember.
