A big thanks to Melinda for inspiring me to just go for this. I mentioned a couple of days ago that I was having a hard time figuring out what to do with my goals for this year, and a comment from Melinda made me decide to take a chance with this. What do I have to lose?
1. Plan my garden: Will I rent a whole 4 x 8 plot at the community garden again? Try to fill my new spacious front porch with potted vegetables and flowers? Just stick to something simple and get the majority of my veggies from our CSA and farmer's martkets? Time for some decisions so I can get the seeds I need.
2. Decorate for the season: The Christmas decorations are down, and things are empty. I need hearts, and pink, and flowers in my house!
3. Take an overnight trip with Paul: We made a resolution as a couple to make this our "recharge" year. I got the inspiration from a coworker who started assigning a theme to each year with her husband. Last year they made it a "fun" year because they were putting so much time and energy into their jobs. This year is a "wellness" year so they will both be exercising and eating better. With Paul working and going to school and me keeping myself busy with all my work and hobbies, we decided we would do well to take time for little recharges throughout the year. This will mean taking little step backs from everyday busyness with overnight trips and special dates - and will also mean making an effort at better self care individually. Basically like a treat-yo-self year (which sounds a lot more fun than "recharge"!).
4. Check Facebook once a day: It's embarassing that I have to put this on here. But in an attempt to be more present and less addicted to my computer, I'm only going to check facebook once a day. I have a strange habit of just automatically opening Facebook when I have a couple of free seconds in front of a computer. I usually see the same posts, the same articles that I had already seen earlier in the day, so there was no real need to go back. Time to get this social media habit in check!
(If I would have made a list for January it would have included: sign up for a roller derby bootcamp (check!), make homemade ice cream (check!), plan a trip (check!), and finish all my 101 goals (complete un-check!).
