the month we call November

October is over. Which also means that my month-long fast from alcohol is also over. So I'm relaxing and enjoying a nice glass of red wine. This is the first month of Sarah and my plan to become better people. We've decided to set monthly challenges for ourselves. So October was no drinking. 31 days, and it wasn't until the last week that I even was tempted!
So, what's next for November? It's kind of a combo month. We couldn't decide on one thing. So, November is a combination of working out and not swearing. I am challenging myself to work out at least 4 days a week, something I am hoping to finally make a habit! And I am trying to cut swearing out of general conversation. There are certain occasions where no other words will suffice, but in general, it makes people sound uneducated.
I've never really been one for New Years Resolutions. Honestly, how many actually last past January? But I think that monthly personal challenges will be a really positive thing in my life. It is supposed to take 3-4 weeks to form a habit. If I can form one positive habit every month, think how much I can improve myself!
