knitting while champagne jamming

note to self-

do not knit while drinking champagne with friends on sundays.

just sayin'.

pretty good year

i should quit eating cheeseburgers. but i really like cheeseburgers. i refuse to make a resolution about this. but i will think about it.

someone asked me about resolutions on new years. i told her i don't make resolutions anymore. sometimes i make intentions.

my intentions for last year-

find a job i love
date casually, no more of this rush or run thing
invest more time, love, energy into my home
grow an amazing garden
compost
run, walk, cycle
support my community
make decisions and stick to them
more joy, less shame

i found a job i do cartwheels for. i planted an amazing garden, though the job distracted me from the harvest. i dated. casually, and some crash and burns. the house got painted, new floors, new shower/bath. and feels like home. i'm just now getting to composting. the city of olympia has done a fantastic job of making it too easy to not do. i ran three times. i walked a few more. actually, a lot more. and did not cycle. annie's not a good cycle companion. i worked a lot on the community center. it's in a holding pattern now. both of my jobs support my community in ways i love. i'm getting better at making decisions and sticking to them, but really, it takes practice. there was far more joy, and far less shame this year. again, these things take practice.

my intentions for this year-

give annie some manners, and maybe a brother, but manners first
plant, tend, and harvest an amazing garden
continue to love and invest in my home
learn to live with someone after living alone for three years
dance more
run, walk, cycle
invest in my family and friends
be excellent in my work

i'll let you how it goes. as i go along. and a wrap up in a year.

be well. be love. be intentional.
