Good Intentions

I’ve had it with the whole New Year’s Resolution thang.  No more, all that inevitable self hatred and disappointment a few weeks minutes into the year.

I start this year with a much kinder list of Good Intentions and a Quilt for me, to help reinforce them.


So, here they are … in no particular order

 Let go
 
Of course I’m not going to forget all the people who I’ve lost in the last year, but I am going to try to focus on remembering their vitality, not their demise.
Grieving must end.  Mourning can continue awhile.

… and I don’t mean blogs!  I’ve found it very difficult to focus on a whole book this year.  I used to get through a book a week.  


Time to buck up.

From free motion quilting to writing new training courses via a bit of embroidery and painting. 

It’s time to learn and hone and share.

Procrastinate Less

We all know it’s much less painful just to get on with the boring stuff.  I’m going to make this a mission.

Nurture Nature

I actually started blogging a couple of years ago to document my wonderful little front garden and all the veggies and fruit I grew, but this year, when my brother got ill, it all went tits up. 

This year will be a bumper crop.

Be it on or offline, I need to participate more and spectate less.

Frown less, Laugh more

(once the ribs have healed a bit!)

And here’s a sneak peek at a couple of blocks from my Quilt of Good Intentions:

Fresh and zingy and very loosely based on a Yellow Brick Road pattern … In fact, I'm intentionally being unintentional!  yum!

So, what is your No.1 Good Intention for the coming year?  Do share …
