2011 Goals

[aelfie]

1. This one may sound a bit strange...but less reading. More time with the kids. I'm realizing how much time I spend with my head buried in a book rather than focusing what's in front of me. My goal for January is to not read in front of the kids...read to the kids, yes...read around the kids, no.
2. Turn off the computer during the day. It really doesn't need to be on.
3. Strengthen my mental health. Saying goes, if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. 2010 has been a VERY black year in this arena.
4. More handwork! Get the kids involved.
5. Drawing. If I have to pick one new skill to pick up on, I'd say drawing is my most important.
6. Improve my physical health. Once 3 is in place, this one should be a done deal. Starting with getting enough sleep! And then enough sunlight. I need to think of myself as a potted plant now...need my daily sunning.
7. More innerwork. Making that connection and work a priority.

That'll do.

I have to find my favorite colored pencils. but you and I could go to the park (or playground) sometime once things start blooming again and do some sketching while your kids play...

Those are awesome goals. I might just swipe this for myself. But instead of reading, I'll say computer, Hulu, sleeping! (I sleep a lot.)

I know I need more sunlight. Every day I wake up and it's totally foggy and gray outside, I just want to get back under the covers and try again tomorrow.
