check at least one thing off my 43things list every month

I fell into a deep sadness and was unable to contemplate doing anything real on this list for several months. But now I’m recommitting to it and I’m going to double down to make up for the months I missed.

January: Learn about Wine

February: Make Jewelry

March: Start an Etsy shop

April: Write a haiku every day during April

My 2007 resolution is to check at least one thing off my list every month. This sounds a little bit like a cop-out on the surface, sort of like I am postponing coming up with a real resolution, but I think it will really help me establish realistic goals that I actively want to pursue, rather than things that just sound nice or fun. And it will also encourage me to to keep assessing my list. I’m excited to make 2007 a year of achieving both big and small goals. My January goal will be to learn about wine—my class starts next week.
