I began this tradition of writing intentions instead of resolutions about a decade ago after reading a blog post rationalizing the word change...gives one more grace when one initially fails at a resolution. Grace...a beautiful thing.
Wow! 22. Twenty-two. Better get started on that list!
- Read Gone with the Wind. I never have. I am choosing this one as my Independent Read for Quarter 3. Pressure...and assignment...is on!
- Watch Gone with the Wind...only after having completed #1.
- Lose 52 pounds...one pound a week.
- More water...less sodas.
- Read an average of one book a week. Hummm...see #1!
- Read the Bible through...again.
- Read The Christmas Carol and complete a Bible study connected to this book. (AND I received another book regarding this same book. Must be meant to be!)
- Attempt to complete this book challenge: 52 Book Club's Reading Challenge. Why this challenge? To push myself to read books out of my comfort zone!
- Read one professional read every two months. I need to read one a month...but... I have not grown professionally during this pandemic...as surviving became the goal and little energy or want-to was left to read books, other than ones of personal choice.
- Re-read the Harry Potter books!
- Find good deals on books and buy/stock them up for 2022 Christmas gifts. I gave books this year...and I have enjoyed doing so.
- Give books as gifts for birthdays. This one will take some planning, as birthdays tend to slip up on me!
- Send birthday and thank you cards much more diligently!
- Blog...more. Write, reflect...just write.
- Finish all the quilts I currently have started or promised to others AND make more quilts for others...and for me.
- Paint.
- Put away and pick up...especially in my car and house! Family gatherings will more often be hosted within our home; much less work to be more diligent about keeping it consistently presentable.
- Focus on my One Word: knowledge. Maybe refer to all the above intentions that deal with books?!
- Continue making time for my friend groups: Meeting of the Minds and the Wildcats.
- Be even more involved in ALA and WRLC...two literacy groups.
- Spend quality time with the fam, especially The Man and The Daughter.
- Create and grow even more beautiful flowers than I did last year.
Did you notice that many focus on books? I just really like books! 2022...going to be a good year!
How about you? Resolutions? Intentions? One? 22?!
