Update on the 24 Intentions

This review I fear will not be a success!  Let's take walk-thru...shall we?

  1. 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!
    1. Yes!  I read this book!  Yay!
  2. Watch Gone with the Wind...only after having completed #1.
    1. No...not yet, although I did purchase the movie!
  3. Lose 52 pounds...one pound a week...OR four pounds a month. 
    1. Nope.  Ugh.
  4. More water...less sodas.  
    1. Maybe a little more?
  5. Read an average of one book a week.  Hummm...see #1!  
    1. Yes!  Will have read 80 (or more books) by Jan. 1!
  6. 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!
    1. Hummm...I do have several checkmarks by several books.
  7. Read the Bible through...again...and complete Bible Studies (before going to the group meeting!).
    1. No and yes.  Finished the Old Testament ...and our Bible Studies.
  8. Teach with more focus on those who want to learn, hoping to inspire those who need more interest along the way.
    1. Hummm...sometimes I lost the focus.  But!  Still teaching!
  9. 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!  
    1. No.  
  10. 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!)
    1. No.  Although this is a really good idea!  I gave "whisk"s this year.  :)
  11. Give books as gifts for birthdays.  This one will take some planning, as birthdays tend to slip up on me! 
    1. No...well, a few...not enough!
  12. Send birthday and thank you cards much more diligently!  At this, I am just so bad.  Really bad. Be better, Tammy.
    1. Still bad at this.  Ugh.
  13. 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.
    1. Still not finishing the year with much writing.  The fall semester is just soooo busy.
  14. 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.
    1. No.  Don't think I worked on a single quilt.  All still waiting on me. 
  15. Paint.  Yes!  So much fun!
    1. A little bit...not nearly enough.
  16. Put away and pick up...especially in my car and house!  
    1. Hummmm...
  17. 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.
    1. Some...this is a huge positive in my life.
  18. 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.
    1. Yes.  Such a good thing.
  19. 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!  
    1. We are burning out...letting ALA go (as a state organization).  Will have fun along the way.
  20. Spend quality time with the fam, especially The Man and The Daughter.  
    1. Yes.  :)
  21. Plan more gatherings here at the house for the church ladies and my Bible study group and other friend groups.
    1. No...same as ones last year.
  22. Create and grow even more beautiful flowers than I did last year.  Especially begonias!  They love my front porch.
    1. Kept it simple this year...but they sure were pretty and huge!
  23. Keep up a list of Honey-Dos for The Man, for, one, he likes staying busy, and, two, I like his creations!
    1. He does good work!
  24. Maintain my National Board certification.  This is my year.
    1. Did it!  Maintained!  Yay!
Had some yeses...some maybes...too many nos...but always trying to do more!
