Hello dear friends and internet strangers!
I am back after an almost 5 year hiatus. I cannot promise anything by means of regularity in posting here so try not to get your hopes up. I realized recently how much I have missed writing. I could write for myself but that seems dull so here I am, at the keyboard with a few precious moments to myself and I am stumped by what to write. What was it that seemed so important I needed to share? My Swiss cheese brain has failed me yet again. In all honesty I thought my brain would not remember the password to login to my dusty old blog, but my fingers did not fail me this time like my brain sometimes does.
Since I cannot for the life of me remember what topics I thought of to write last night I will tell you my New Years Goals for 2020. Hello new decade.
1. Floss my teeth.
2. Read before bed
3. Walk 1 mile outside everyday
4. Have 1 hour tech free while at home
5. Do something creative
I have a checklist in the bathroom, and being the type of person who likes to check things off I have been sticking to these goals fairly well. Thus far my teeth have been flossed and feet have walked a mile everyday this year. Thirty whole days! The feat seems both small and large simultaneously.
Sometimes I feel like I cheat the creative goal by knitting two stitches before going to bed.
I've been having good luck with books lately so it is not a struggle to read before bed, if anything the struggle is to go to bed at an appropriate time and resist the temptation to read the next chapter.
This does not feel like anything eyeopening or thought provoking for my first post in five years. I will try to keep this up, as I really do miss the act of writing my thoughts. Not only that but I really like looking back at my posts from the past and being reminded of projects or fun activities we did.
Cheers to 2020!
Lauren
