Welcome to the Ultimate Day Challenge it’s January 8th Day #8. For this morning’s prompt we was asked to host a contest. Which I had thought about doing. Although I decided I didn’t want to do that because I would have to find a prize to give away. As i was putting together this prompt I thought I would ask you what type of contest would you like to see on here and why?
What would you like to win for a prize? Gift Cards? Books? Items for yourself or someone else? If I was to win a contest I believe I would like to have a Gift Card to Amazon so I could pick out a Valentines Day Gift for David and Charlie. Then if there was any money left over I would pick out a new book for myself.
It’s the New Year and I would like to pick up a couple Danielle Steel novels to read this month. I plan on getting back into the habit of reading at least 30 minutes each evening or up to 3 chapters in a book each night. Because I have been staying up all hours of the night and keeping everyone in our home awake.
If I pick out a book to read it would be quite and David could rest. Because I could start a small Heater in the Living Room and turn on a soft light and grab a Hot Chocolate and lose myself in the book I was reading. Allowing myself to relax and fall asleep at a decent time. I am relaxed and ready to work in the morning.
Instead of dragging through the day. Which is causing me to not even have enough energy to get up and walk each day like I had planned. If something doesn’t change soon I am going to be bigger than the house and not even be able to get outside. So its time to stop and rebuild my life and there is no, time like today.
This afternoon a friend and I are leaving to go walk. I am Praying I can walk the full hour she is wanting to walk since my Hip is still bothering me. Then once Charlie is home and we go over his day and his Homework and I finish cooking dinner since David may be working late this evening.
I plan on asking Charlie to go to the park with me to walk for 30 minutes. Which will be closer to a hour by the time we walk to the park and back home. This way Charlie will also be up and moving and getting exercise he needs. Because I don’t believe they get enough at school. Do you think our children do?

Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
I definitely need more physical activity in my life. We moved back in October and now have a nice place to walk with limited traffic. I am looking forward to reading more this year – I’m really into John W. Mefford – his books are thrillers/suspense. Amazon gift cards are always fun to enter to win!
Love your idea of reading 30 minutes each day……a GREAT GOAL! I think I’ll join you in reading 30 minutes a day. First get through some books on well something you know about- Blogging……A gift card would be a great prize- but what would the contest be? hhmmmm……..make the contest and prize match!
I won two contest last month! One was an 8 piece set of silicone utensils and the other was a HUGE box of organic candy and cookies!!
