40 in '14
I seem to still be wrapping up 2014. I have an aversion to change so it only figures that I wouldn’t deal well with the New Year. I’ve only had to write “’15” once so far. That is another advantage of on-line banking.
Anyway, last January I wrote up a list of 40 things to do in ’14. I had to tweak that list a lot over the year and I am just today adding the final few things that brings my number back to 40. And of course, I categorized the entire list. You knew I would.
READING1. finish Ragged Hope2. finish Sell Your Book like Wildfire3. finish the book of Numbers4. read the book of Matthew5. read the book of Deuteronomy6. read the book of Mark7. read the book of Joshua8. read the book of Judges9. read the book of Daniel and Decoding Daniel10. read Miracle at TenwekWRITING11. finish writing Early Life of Jesus in 40 Days12. publish Early Life of Jesus13. finish writing Tale of an American Woman14. start writing Early Ministry of JesusNONPROFIT15. apply for tax exempt status16. do a large scale fundraiser for Tumaini17. set up Etsy shop18. make $1000 selling our Kenyan crafts19. get tax exempt statusSEWING20. sew scrub top from Kenyan cloth21. sew curtains for Palm room22. sew retro summer dressHOUSE AND YARD23. clean my office and keep it clean!24. update my Snoopy list25. paint my bathroom 26. plant my garden27. plant my flowers28. make another trail in the woods29. clean the Palm roomTRAVEL30. go away in the spring31 take a road trip with my sister32. go camping in the summer33. go away in the fallCHURCH34. work on Easter Dinner 35. write children’s Christmas program36. do the Christmas programFAMILY37. host Trink’s BD party38. host Thanksgiving dinnerHEALTH39. walk half the streets of town40. start running again
Yes, some of these items seem pretty trivial, but sometimes the challenge is just getting the motivation. Plus, some things which seem so small are really quite big to me. I should have added taking my Kinship kid horseback riding and to the Renaissance Festival, coz those were really big, but then I would have had to re-work half of the list. Which inspires me to start on a list for 2015 and maybe then I can remember everything that I should be doing.
The problem with the 2015 list is should I make it 50 things long?
This is my Palm tree room in the basement. It hardly ever gets used, so can anyone tell me how it gets so dirty? (This picture was taken 18 months ago, after I cleaned it the last time. I didn't get any "before" pictures of it.)
