I’ve scanned all of my photos that were on film, and all my parents’ photos that were on negatives. I’ve come to find that my parents’ photos aren’t terribly well organized, so there’s a lot of lose pictures that will need to be hand scanned, but that’s a project that could take forever to organize, so waaaay beyond the scope of what I planned.

It’s really nice having 30 years of my life organized visually. It makes me wish my parents had taken more photos. With the number of photos I’m taking of my new baby, she may wish the opposite :-)

I think I need to make this goal more specific. Any goals of the form “do this on a set schedule” need to be tied with a part of my current routine. For example, when I made the goal to floss daily, it was easy to figure out when to do it everyday – right before I brushed my teeth. At least a half dozen times I’ve picked this meditation goal back up and stuck with it for weeks or months at a time. And then lost it. I think my biggest problem was that I was meditating whenever I remembered or had time, so it required constant effort to remind myself to do it and frequently found myself doing so at the end of the day before bed. I’m going to restate this goal as “meditate first thing every morning” and see how that works. This might mean getting up earlier. Yuck. I’m willing to try that out and see how it works.

I’ve made it a habit to always stretch in some way, shape or form throughout the day. Working at a computer I have to or I start to get problems. However, simple stretching isn’t quite what I meant when I setup this goal, and by not being specific enough in what I wrote down, I only achieved the minimum. What I’d really like to do is establish a yoga routine. I’ll have to think of a good way to incorporate that into my life.
