There are many projects here that only require my effort, the materials and knowledge are already available. Less time online and more time in the workroom will improve daily life in innumerable ways. With that in mind, my concept for 2011 is to combine the three categories with some defined behavior changes in each one:
infrastructure: a minimum of half an hour of effort each day
main areas of focus this year: building garden beds, and the associated water systems, and outdoor alternative cooking facilitieshandicraft: a minimum of an hour of effort each day
main areas of focus this year: a body of work in metal and enamel, and filling out the necessary clothingkindness: a minimum of one hour walk each morning

So... there is still time tonight for an hour and a half of enjoyable effort, as well as getting ready for tomorrows Crafternoon. Dishes need washed, some vegan quincemeat tartlets need baked, and a start made on the new livingroom curtains.
The Lan Su Chinese Garden is beautiful in all seasons, and for the next eight days, admission is free. Last January it was a delightful and memorable excursion, and being right downtown, easily accessible. Anyone want to go with me?
They sound like good goals; I hope you're successful. I am rarely successful when I try to make resolutions.
ReplyDeletegoals seemed to work last year, we'll have to see if this variation is too much like resolutions, or if it is just enough focus to encourage steady progress
ReplyDeleteI love the goals! I can't wait to see what you do with your infrastructure one, particularly the outdoor cooking facilities. Here's to 2011!
