Welcome to 2016, Gentle Reader, one I hope will be truly a remarkable year!
But, New Year – new you? I hope not so much, I spent much of last year trying to improve me. I wanted to learn more and do more.
And, I think I did fairly well.
2015 saw me become a student of yoga, which has become an almost daily ritual for me. I am happy about this but I need to do more. Every year I fool myself about losing weight, well the days of fooling myself are over. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. What this equates to is more action needs to happen in my life, as in MOVE IT! Which is a struggle when all your favorite activities are sedentary ones.
However, knitting and walking is apparently thing… Stay tuned for more on this become a thing in my life as 2016 unfolds.
I loved the stitching process in making my daughters “family tree” so you can expect more stitching projects in 2016. I am a long way from the beauty that Bonnie Sennott stitches, but I won’t let that stop me. This book might be the perfect addition to my library.
But, what I really want to focus on this year is gratitude. I will be working through 365Grateful this year. You will see things about this all year-long here on the blog, but if you want to see my daily gratitude, follow me on Instagram!
And so, what I am especially grateful for today: coffee, in a very special mug.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I hope it’s a good one for you, and that no matter what you want to accomplish, you are successful.
Happy New Year! I’ve witnessed the knitting-while-walking thing… it just doesn’t seem very relaxing to me. I saw a woman knitting while on a recumbent bicycle at the fitness center once, though, and that seemed more relaxing… brilliant, actually… and safer. 😉
