Make my 2012 resolutions happen

Project #1

I finished a cardigan for my sister that I had cut out from about 2010.

Weight loss is on hold too. I’m facing a tight deadline as well as recuperating from an injury to my thigh so this is on hold. My yoga is on hold for a couple more weeks too. I’ve developed back spasms which are probably linked to too much working on my laptop while lying in the best position to take pressure off my leg. Even the simple postures hurt.

Sadly, these are on pause for now. I’ve one major project going right now that puts all of these on hold. Hopefully in the Summer I can sort the water out. I now have two leaks somewhere in the kitchen to contend with. Looking into the costs of solar energy before the year’s end. We get lots of sunlight here so it should help a lot. I’ll have to factor in security for the solar panels though.

I’ve been doing some soul-searching lately. I’m not really as good a person as I thought I was being to my loved ones. It turns out that just like everybody else I have a huge blind spot. I’m working on being more patient and being more forgiving. Slow going. It’s a good thing I’m working on being patient ;-).

I got out of the habit of doing one a day but I have been drawing one at least every 2-3 days. I hope to step up the pace in the summer. So far I’ve almost completed one sketchbook. I’ve never done that before.

Both big and small things are on my list. They always say aim for the moon and you’ll hit the stars if you miss. Those resolutions I kept up with last year changed my life for the better. I’m sure 2012 will be even better.
