This review I fear will not be a success! Let's take walk-thru...shall we?
- Continue to read and finish Gone with the Wind...as I know am reading this one for a Book Club. This is actually the third year this novel has made this list of Intentions. Going to make this one happen this year!
- Yes! I read this book! Yay!
- Watch Gone with the Wind...only after having completed #1.
- No...not yet, although I did purchase the movie!
- Lose 52 pounds...one pound a week...OR four pounds a month.
- Nope. Ugh.
- More water...less sodas.
- Maybe a little more?
- Read an average of one book a week. Hummm...see #1!
- Yes! Will have read 80 (or more books) by Jan. 1!
- Attempt to complete several book challenges and clubs. Click here to see the list! Why this challenge? To push myself to read books out of my comfort zone!
- Hummm...I do have several checkmarks by several books.
- Read the Bible through...again...and complete Bible Studies (before going to the group meeting!).
- No and yes. Finished the Old Testament ...and our Bible Studies.
- Teach with more focus on those who want to learn, hoping to inspire those who need more interest along the way.
- Hummm...sometimes I lost the focus. But! Still teaching!
- Read one professional read every two months. I receive five a year (and may or may not buy more!) through a professional membership. Get to reading, Tammy!
- No.
- Find good deals on books and buy/stock them up for 2024 Christmas gifts. (I gave books away in 2022..but none as gifts in 2023. Hummm...need to work on this one!)
- No. Although this is a really good idea! I gave "whisk"s this year. :)
- Give books as gifts for birthdays. This one will take some planning, as birthdays tend to slip up on me!
- No...well, a few...not enough!
- Send birthday and thank you cards much more diligently! At this, I am just so bad. Really bad. Be better, Tammy.
- Still bad at this. Ugh.
- Blog...more. Write, reflect...just write. I start off the year much better than I end. Why do I stop...for I really do enjoy this reflection process.
- Still not finishing the year with much writing. The fall semester is just soooo busy.
- Finish all the quilts I currently have started or promised to others AND make more quilts for others...and for me. Gotta work on this...as I did not complete one quilt in 2022 or 2023. Why not? My life has become too busy. 2023 was the busiest yet. Need to slow down.
- No. Don't think I worked on a single quilt. All still waiting on me.
- Paint. Yes! So much fun!
- A little bit...not nearly enough.
- Put away and pick up...especially in my car and house!
- Hummmm...
- Focus on my One Word: more. For this, I did create a notebook in which to take notes on all my words, as I now have 14 such words. Yes, I hope to focus more on all of them.
- Some...this is a huge positive in my life.
- Continue making time for my friend groups: Meeting of the Minds and the Wildcats. These groups mean much to me and keep me connected with their lives.
- Yes. Such a good thing.
- Be even more involved in ALA and WRLC...two literacy groups, especially since I seemed to burn out a little...need to revive that fire!
- We are burning out...letting ALA go (as a state organization). Will have fun along the way.
- Spend quality time with the fam, especially The Man and The Daughter.
- Yes. :)
- Plan more gatherings here at the house for the church ladies and my Bible study group and other friend groups.
- No...same as ones last year.
- Create and grow even more beautiful flowers than I did last year. Especially begonias! They love my front porch.
- Kept it simple this year...but they sure were pretty and huge!
- Keep up a list of Honey-Dos for The Man, for, one, he likes staying busy, and, two, I like his creations!
- He does good work!
- Maintain my National Board certification. This is my year.
- Did it! Maintained! Yay!
Had some yeses...some maybes...too many nos...but always trying to do more!
