i hope that sweetness reigns.
small goals seem appropriate, and attainable. here are some of mine:
to take at least three photos a week that i am really happy with.
to leave california at least once. i realized recently that i haven't left the state since i returned from italy in 2004.
to become familiar with the sewing machine and make something from the fabulous denyse schmidt book amber gave me (thank you so much! can i begin to explain how much i love it? no, probably not.)
to be more careful about what i eat. i need to eat more vegetables.
to write at least two things i am proud of.
to fix the toilet paper holder.
anyone out there have anything interesting you're thinking of resolving for the new year?
Mine, some lofty and some not so much:
ReplyDelete1. Learn to sew so that I can make some beautiful blankets for the new babies coming into my friends' lives in '07.
2. Get certified to teach yoga.
3. Focus on career growth (not $) and not on relationships, or lack of them, with men.
4. Buy a guitar. Take weekly guitar lessons for 3 mos. Cap it off with beach sing along with friends, no matter how good or bad I am.
5. Say goodbye to G in my heart and let him go. Forgive myself.
My most recent aspiration is to stop my negative thinking/commenting about my body (and this should probably be expanded to include everything about myself). And I love Jen's guitar aspiration, I was thinking of getting a teach yourself guitar book and learning on this old one Jeff has. Oh and I also want to do an intro course of some kind (maybe also computer) to another language, maybe French.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm really happy you liked the book - sorry I missed you for thai temple, would love to do a Berkeley day soon!
