Sparks of Inspiration
A new hobby has ignited my gray matter this winter. An upbeat website called www.dailyfeats.com offers a list of tasks that we can accomplish to earn points. The tasks range from personal habits such as flossing to potentially world-altering ones with community involvement projects.
It did not take long for me to fall in love with the website; opening the list of feats feels just as wonderful as opening a box of chocolates. What will this one be? Which ones will become my favorites?
Some of them become habit-forming. "Discoveranimals", for instance, caused me to bookmark www.worldwildlife.org. Every day after school, my grandson and I check to see the featured species of the day...then I go to dailyfeats to log it in. (One day the worldwildlife site had a short quiz, "Find your inner animal"...it was a hit with the whole family...I am a dolphin and my husband is a hippo, in case you were wondering.)
Dailyfeats is good for my health. I'll hop out of my chair to do stretches, push-ups and go for walks, just so I can honestly log them in. I learned about the Muller System of exercise/massage on Dailyfeats and am slowly working with it. I have searched out musical artists who I was not familiar with just so I could click on the "find new music" feat...and then dance to their sounds because "dance" is another feat.
Feats include such open-ended tasks as "creative project" and "experiment". MMMM, what those can lead me to do! I admit that I can get obsessive about Dailyfeats because they jumpstart activities I might never have gotten around to doing or..gasp, never even dreamed of doing. Thank you, Dailyfeats for the joy you've added to my life.

I agree that DailyFeats is a "feel good" site that can inspire a person to try something new or rediscover a long forgotten path.
