I get reflective. I think about all the things I haven't done. Mind you that doesn't motivate me to do anything other than veg out on my holidays LOL I thought I'd like to make a list of all the things I have accomplished this year though, and my unused blog seemed to be the perfect place!
- I learned to say thank you to compliments without making it a negative thing
- I rearranged the house so that we use what little space we have more effectively
- I stopped buying breakfast, lunch and coffee everyday
- I am taking better care of myself spiritually, mentally and physically
- I have a budget and financial plan for the next year
- I made gnocchi from scratch
- I managed to work full-time and be a single mum and not go mad
- I had one accident (involving a data cable, phone, computer and my foot)
- I had one hospital visit (see 8)
- I learned to be gracious and accept the help from my colleagues and friends (see 8 and 9)
- I de-cluttered my house and my mental baggage
- I grew very fond of Comsopolitians
I want to start compiling a bucket list too, a lot of it will revolve around travel, which is where point 5 (above) comes in. Factored into my budget are two holidays per year. I'm kicking it off by taking Isaac to Sydney for his 10th birthday early April 2010. With the list of things that I think we should see the weekend will be stretched over three days I think! (I'll have to go back down by myself do to all the things that would be deemed boring by a 10yo boy though!)
Other than learning to cook gnocchi, I've been cooking more from recipes. My kitchen is so tiny, it doesn't lend its hand in opening the cupboard to see what pops out at me kind of cooking which I am used to. Of course most things I cook I do take creative shortcuts/diversions with them :) Like the date scones below that mysteriously turned into pizza scrolls!
I've been working on my Art Journal over the past few days, very determined to finish it before the end of the year! I'm over half way done now which is good... the end is in sight!
I was planning to post a whole lot of eye candy I've been looking at on the net but I think I'll leave that for later. Thanks for visiting, I'm not going to neglect this little space anymore, so if you come back you will be rewarded with pretty pictures :D (or more lists who knows lol)
