• a guitar (even though I have a piano I hardly have time to play!)
• a sewing machine

_{this is so ME. New interests when I have no time to do the ones I already have… are they really worth investing in?}

I have lots of rough drafts and random scribbles, especially now that I’ve put two months worth into the daily poetry goal. If I had more time, I would try to actually go through all of them and see which were worth reworking into something more polished.

here are a few simple ones.

1) Plant some herbs, flowers & vegetables in containers for my back deck.

2) Do the Wreck This Journal project

3) Take an after-work class

4) Start journaling again

5) Complete a painting

6) Clean and organize my whole house so that I feel happy with how it looks inside

7) Ride my cruiser bike

Gosh, I am a boring person! :/

• intuitive movement every day
• write a bunch of thank-you letters to people who have taught, supported and challenged me
• research whether I want to change one of my charity donations
• paint paint paint paint
• glorious miraculous restorative NOTHING

If I had the time, I would:

• collage more. Oooh, I used to love this. When I die, douse me in gel medium and stick me to a canvas.
• put all my song lyrics in one place
• record myself singing all my songs so I won’t keep forgetting the tunes
• talk to some people who play music about starting zither and whether someone like me, who doesn’t like boring beginnings, has the patience to learn it
• get massages once a month, at least
• sit in a public place wearing dark glasses so I could stare at people’s noses and mouths and figure out which way I want to draw them
