New year, new goals... right! Personal goals I have set for myself this year include being a kinder person. I think I'm a fairly nice person. But, is being nice the same as being kind? I used to think so, but now, I am not so sure.
Another goal is to get rid of the clutter. After 32 years of marriage and three kids, there is a lot of stuff in my house, basement and garage that probably needs to go. Of course, there are life artifacts that need to be held onto for the next generation. But, there is also just a lot of stuff!
I would also like to finish some home projects that have been needed to be completed for oh, probably 20 years, or so. Sometimes you just don't get to things. Life gets busy. There is another show to binge watch. There is a basketball game at school. Such is life.
There are creative goals I would like to reach as well. I want to sew more quilts. I have all the supplies anyone could ever need. I have two sewing machines! I need to let go of the idea that the things I sew all have to be queen-sized quilts. Wall hangings, pillows and table runners have value also. Sewing some smaller projects would allow me to practice the craft and give me a sense of accomplishment.
Finally, I want to read more. Today in class, myself and the 7th grade, had a conversation about reading goals. They are not as excited about it as I am. I hear them say that they just do not like to read. To which I say something like, you just haven't found the right book. They don't necessarily agree with that. But, I am sticking with that argument, no matter what.
I hope I can achieve these goals. They don't seem difficult. Honestly, they sound kind of cheesy, easy. I can do this!
