| January 16th, 2026 “Ten Things To Do In January" says Charmaine J. Forde Have you done anything on the list? What would you add to the list for a January activity? • Read a good book I’ve got two going right now. An Ellis Peters mystery revolving around Brother Cadfael, a 15th century Benedictine monk. And “Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar…”, a crash course in Philosophy employing lots of humor. • Get a Library Card - Got one, good at all public libraries in the area. • Walk 30 minutes a day - It’s Friday, and I’ve already logged 12 miles. • Send a Birthday card to a friend - I don’t like supporting the greeting card industry. People should make their own. • Invest in a Fitness Tracker - No thanks, the NSA and the aliens already know too much about me. • Buy a Coin jar and save those quarters and nickels - Already do. • Donate to a Charity - Most of which we wouldn’t need if our culture was based on cooperation rather than competition, and founded on principles of equality. • Volunteer 45 minutes of your time to an Organization - I do…to WdC. • Take a Yoga Class - I’ll stick with meditation. • Volunteer at Bingo night a Nursing Home - Not sure my heart could handle the excitement. |
