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.
	Read more … 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.
	Learn More 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. Pop over to Kellie @ 74 Lime Lane to participate even more by joining the Creative Collective ... (button on side bar -->)
	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.
	Persevere Need I say more?!
	Commune 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 …

My Creative Space #11

I’ve been off work all week with this dratted migraine/gastro virus, so sadly my space has not been very creative.  I’ve only left the house to go to the doctor, so plans have gone a little awry …

10:10:10 A GLOBAL DAY OF DOING from 10:10 on Vimeo.

In true nerdy fashion I've scheduled this to post at 10:10 ...  

... My Sunday Stash post was also scheduled at 01:01!

 ... my teensy contribution to lowering carbon emissions for the day is to stay offline!

Happy Blogtoberfest peeps!  

• What do you do regularly to cut down on your energy consumption? 
• Do you find it hard sometimes to go offline?  
• When you are out and about do you find yourself wanting to take photos so you can blog about it later, lol!?
