Greatitudes

you, yes, you!

3 Positives:
yesterday’s list completed
exceeded step goal for the day
matted new project I’d like to start cutting today

My Journey Notes:
This year has been an interesting one overall. Finding words and staying focused have been the biggest issues when looking back over the year. Lists have been my biggest saving grace this year. I’m grateful that I’ve had years of practice of using them and have been able to fine tune their use AND am able to give myself grace when I don’t complete everything on the list for the day.

3 Positives:
push the envelope – don’t give up
looked over last year’s projects and yep, I liked what I saw for the most part
started the first “gather” project for 2026. It will likely be a year long project, but if we can find the currently missing answers, it will be worth it.

My Journey Notes:
Taking a step back on the weekends was a good choice. We’ll see if it’s something I’ll continue as a way of relaxing a little more, giving myself some grace and allowing a little more leeway on some other things. T and A picked up on the change — so it might just be what was needed to relieve some stress. Today, it’s back to what has been the normal daily routine. I’ve already checked my list for the morning and there are a couple of things that have to be checked off before spending time in the studio. We’re good, though. I’m looking forward to some studio time later today and time throughout the remainder of the week.
