.... I'm not doing this to see what it'll be like when I have kids - the kid thing was just something that occurred to me as an afterthought. And also, anyone who knows me knows I'm not naive enough to think giving up stuff for a year makes me automatically in the running for future-mother-of-the-year..
It's more that it dawned on me the other day how often we (and I use the term broadly) are told to "give up" this or "take up" that for our physical, emotional and even financial well being. We're told this by our friends, our parents, the media, doctors, nurses, shamans, priests, pastors and anyone else we choose to confide in.
I decided to find out if they were right.
For the next 12 months I'm going to "give up" one of my personal vices and "take up" something I've never had the time of day for, each month. Some are serious, some are flippant. Some may impact on my (and my husband's) day-to-day life others may not impact me greatly all.
I'm not looking for a change of lifestyle, I'm not unhappy and I'm certainly not bored with my life - haven't you ever just wondered that you were living life to the fullest?
