Time to Reflect

838e97e83f0965721f42936697c5682c

Each year I say I'm not really into resolutions, yet I do always spend a little time thinking about it and reflecting upon the year just past.

I am setting some fun and also practical resolutions for myself for the coming year.  I need a better year than last.  I had surgery right at the end of 2016, and I don't remember Christmas or New Years.  It was smothered by pain pills.  A month later we had a major family issue in our home and that made life hard, but bearable, we do what we need at the time.  But I also become very sick with pneumonia, and was truly sick for 3 months.  Healing from the surgery took a long time and the family issue continued.  Things settled with time.  We had scheduled remodeling, which is hard with 2 large dogs, I was home with them the entire time.  Then a storm in the summer caused moderate damage to our house, which just now was finished being repaired.  Once again, I had to deal with contractors and dogs.

On the positive side, I got a lot of sewing done, and I enjoy my sewing so much.  I finally also felt like my health was coming back, and just recently started a healthier diet again and working out more at the gym.

So I'm seeing 2018 being full of good things for me.


Resolutions for 2018


  • Sewing - I've joined the Goodbye Valentino RTW Fast (more about that later.)
  • Time to myself - Besides sewing, I need to knit more.  Me time is very special to me.
  • Read - I don't read enough real books
  • Nutrition - Continue to focus on my low carb and keto diet plans, work with my Naturapath
  • Fitness - Continue working with the trainer at the gym, more walking, etc
  • Home - Do the work and repairs and updates that need doing
  • Peace - Find more and more and more to declutter
  • Blog - Perhaps I should work on this a bit more


Obviously, these are major changes, they are things I do already in my life.  They don't focus on anyone but myself, but of course the other people in my life are important too.
