It’s Thursday! Time to find things to like about your week! Time to share with others! Check out LeeAnna’s blog, Not Afraid of Color.
I’m joining Project Quilting again this year. I did all the challenges, except the very first one, last year. I enjoyed it so much! It made me think and it proved that I can FINISH! Click the link if you’re interested. Here’s a peek at my project……it’s due on Sunday, the 14th by Noon Wisconsin time. That’s 11 AM my time.
Do you have plans or desires to learn something new this year? Playing the flute or running a marathon, water aerobics? French? Finally clearing off the dining room tab? Do you have a goal!
I don’t have any of the goals or desires LeeAnna mentions in her prompt. I used to make NY Resolution, but no more. A friend shared her list of resolutions on Facebook! I laughed out loud!
The only real goal I have is kinda personal! I want to break the habit I have of saying “what ?” Or “huh?” every time my husband speaks. Yes, I have some hearing loss, but it’s causing an issue. It will be a hard habit to break! Wish me luck!
And one other small goal. To leave my tablet in the living room and read in bed rather than playing another Sudoku or Crossword puzzle. I used to read a lot. In 2013 I read 73 books and last year only 5. That’s disappointing to me. So I want to read more. At least 12 in 2024.
Off to stitch with my Thursday group. I’ll check in with others that post, when I get home!
That bird is so cute. I don't do resolutions - the stress of making them and the guilt of breaking them. No, thank you very much. I am very interested in the books you read last year. I am looking to discover some new authors.
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud when I saw your friend's goals! :D My only resolution is to be kinder. You'd be surprised to see how hard that is - lol! Good luck with the "HUH?" My husband does that to me. And good luck with your reading goal. I discovered several books to read on my iPad (Kindle app) through Prime reading, and I definitely read more books last year.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well reading more!
ReplyDeleteAll the best, my quilting goal this year is to use circle rulers I bought in some way on many of the quilts I need to quilt. I am totally behind you in the book goal, hope it works for you, so many good books out there awaitng.
ReplyDeleteI love that pretty fabric in your first photo - with the birds! Looks like you have a good start on this week's challenge. I had to laugh at your new year's resolution - we have the same problem at our house. I'm trying to get better about that, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! My sister who is 89 got me started on a daily Sudoko. The first day, I did about 100 of them! They are so much fun. After the second day of that, I stopped myself. Now I only can play a game while I pedaling my recumbent bike. I was getting up during the night and playing games, too - but no more. If I can't sleep, I read. Your friend's goal of changing her habit of words is difficult. I wanted to stop swearing before our first little was born, six years ago. It can be done! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading!
ReplyDeleteGREAT goals Judy, and I unfortunately relate to the dh soft talker problem. I ask mine to have energy when he talks instead of mumbling under his breath. When he speaks clearly in the same room I am in, and enunciates I hear him fine. Of course it's mostly talk of food, when to eat, what to eat, and if the dog pooped on the walk.
ReplyDeleteconversation... yes please.
I love my ipad games... omgosh. I read on the kindle app too so it's my little companion. LeeAnna
