I've been thinking about the things I hope to accomplish in 2011. I even made a list of goals for the year. I do this every January, and it's so rewarding to cross something off the list when it's been accomplished. I have lists dating back some 35 years, and some of the things on those older lists weren't crossed off until 10-15 years later. And some things dropped off the list because they were no longer important or relevant. Case in point: For several years my lists included tearing out the old disgusting carpet in my library (a sort of den with floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall books). Well, last November (2010) I crossed it off the list as no longer being relevant. I did tear out the old carpet, but by then I had decided to turn the library into a full-fledged craft room, turning it into a major renovation.
This year's list is smaller than normal, probably due to my current physical limitations. (Can you spell "bum leg" boys and girls?) However, even though my 2011 list is slightly smaller, it has some dauntingly huge items on it. Such as finishing work on the library-cum-craft-room. And gutting the laundry room to replace the floor and subfloor. Then tear up the old flooring in the spare bedroom and replacing it with linoleum/vinyl. Installing new windows, a room at a time, as funds permit.
So there you have it. a glimpse into some of my plans for 2011. Am I the only one who does New Year's resolutions, or are there a few relics out there who still do it?
