I'm not one to make resolutions. I have before only to either disappoint myself or forget about a dream of mine a month later. In fact, I've never met a resolution I liked. Lose 10 lbs. has hung around for about half a decade. Instead of making a resolution...I've decided to make a "to-do" list. I love lists, however, never thought to make one until a friend posted one on her blog. So, thank you Bethany! I don't have a timeline for this list. I don't need anymore pressures or deadlines!! Here is my list of hopes, dreams, and desires:
Learn to etch on glass
Expand my prayer beading
Take James to the Shedd Aquarium
Plant a sustainable garden in our backyard
Start an indoor herb garden
Serve food at a shelter for Christmas
Take a day to thrift store shop in downtown Chicago
Go to a Bears game with Dave
Find a piece of furniture in the alley and refinish it
Start a compost pile and worm farm
Write a handwritten note to an old friend
Learn to crochet
Continue with my book club
Lose 40 pounds
Transition back to a vegatarian
Take James to his first movie
Get the job at the YMCA that I really want!
