For Christmas, James and I got a 4 day Flexi game Broncos membership after heading a bunch of games in 2017. They listed a number of member benefits but it was really about guaranteeing ourselves a few games, and getting the membership lanyard.

Today was Members’ Day. It was part of the deal so we thought we’d go along. It was at Suncorp Stadium with opportunities to meet some playersand to set foot on the hallowed Lang Park turf. 8f it wasn’t great, we could always head home early.

The challenge that I have set myself is to complete twelve tasks. I don’t really expect to meet all twelve of them but I will give them each a good crack. There will be some rules for each - some might change as we go. I’ll go into each separately in different posts to give a better understanding of what each task is about. This will also help me reach Task 6! 

Last week I had homework to hand in. I had to write a letter to Alex to help celebrate her graduation. 

It’s a little symbolidc, but it’s also part of a number of the challenges that I am embarking on. No less the one the “post on this site” challenge.

Mt Coot-tha is near home and it took me a long time to realise that climbing a mountain could be pretty easy. Especially this one. On my first trip up, I stopped a few times. The number of stops decreased each time until I could make it to the top in one hit. It’s only just over 2 km from where I start. And I don’t take the steep trails. But for someone who hasn’t done that before, it was an achievement.

We all have moments where we think we can be better than what we are. It doesn’t mean that we aren’t happy with our current lot in life, just that we can be better. Studies show* that there is personal benefit in taking stock, looking forward to where you want to be, and to take action to get there.

I have tinkered with this over the last few years with some success – changing what I do at work is a good example. I now want to do a little more for me personally and to become better. I’d like to think that Jack Nicholson was not onto something in his 1997 movie with Helen Hunt. I don’t think this is as good as it gets.

So. What next?
