Every year for the last seven I have logged each month what progress I make in these quantifiable categories, and I expect to continue this practice as long as life and breath allow; it serves me well. At any time I can look back and see that my time has not been wasted, however much it may feel that way. Would that there was some way to make note of and keep records of less tangible progress, that there was some way to keep track of days when kindness and calmness held fast in the face of difficulty, when my strong stubborness allowed for persistence in the teeth of isolation... For such a rough year as 2020 has been, and it isn't over yet, there were still things made, things repaired and unneeded things discarded... I made it through so far, fixed some of the scarred places in my back story, and have hopefully managed to discard a bit of the useless internal negative commentary. At this point I have no idea what to think about 2021, save continuing to do my best effort at shifting the balance towards goodness, kindness, and creativity... if you are reading these words, huzzah for us, we made it through so far!
