Ten on Tuesday - Giving it a Try
I have wanted to do this for awhile. Crazy Knitting Fool does this, and she said it comes from the Carole Knits blog. I attempted to sign up for the weekly email, but it wouldn't let me . . . and from what I can tell on the Carole Knits blog, she's on vacation for two weeks. So, I decided to do last week's this week, and see what happens next time :-D Maybe I will be able to get on the list when Carole returns from vacation.
The topic for last Tuesday was:
10 Things I Only Do Once A Year But I Wish You Could Do Them More Often
Wow, this was definitely harder than I thought it would be, and I'm not sure I did it right because I'm feeling sort of sad about my list. But is there a right? I'm not so sure that there is. In any case, it has made me think, which - I think - is the entire point ;-)
The topic for last Tuesday was:
10 Things I Only Do Once A Year But I Wish You Could Do Them More Often
- Michigan Fiber Festival - I really like to go, but I suppose going more often would make it not quite so special.
- Birthday Lunch with my friend R - we actually do a lunch twice a year, but only one is for our birthdays, which are a week apart. I guess there's no reason we couldn't do this more often!
- A Date - actually, since I haven't had one for a few years, it would be quite nice to have one again. At least I think it would be :-D
- Read a Book - Yeah, that's kinda scary. I used to be a prolific reader but I rarely seem to find time to read. I confess I have read a couple of fluff books recently, so obviously I do this more than once a year, but it's something that's very much on my list to do more of.
- Finish Knitting a Sweater - Geez . . . I have two on the needles, both of which have been resting for more than a year. I'd like to finish at least one of them this year.
- Sing in the Choir at Christmas - I haven't actually done this for a few years now. I do miss it, but my life seems to just be so crazy that giving up every Thursday night seems like more than I can stand - so maybe this shouldn't be on the list . . .
- Get a Massage - I used to be better at this, but I just don't make the time or spend the money anymore. :-(
- Take a Day Off - yeah, you know, a real day off. Not for a vacation or because I have to go somewhere or wait for a tradesman or I'm sick. Just a day off.
- Sleep Well - OK, this just has to happen more than once a year, and I'm hoping it's going to start happening regularly again soon, but right now, it feels like for fricking ever since I have had a good night's sleep.
- Have a Goal - again, this one is within my control . . . I've been rudderless for awhile now. Probably time to be doing some personal work and figuring out my path, which has become muddy and unclear.
