Project43++ aka Project44

Earlier this week, I turned 44. Another year has gone by. Like last year, I feel as though I didn’t move ahead enough on my goals.

However, I have moved ahead, far ahead… What I have managed to accomplish in the past year and a half makes me proud. I still have a ways to go, for sure, but I have made major inroads towards my life goals: home life organization, manageable to-do lists, actual free time, weekly hikes, cooking, volunteering, etc.

Goals for this year, in addition to my Happiness Project goals and Empower and Energy goal include:

• Get in more walking; I really want to walk Hadrian’s Wall soon! This includes getting some well-fitting shoes that don’t make my toes hurt after a mile. And losing weight.
• Improving my photography skills. I’d like to find some classes that fit my schedule and needs.
• Fitting in more travel. Even if I have to do it on my own or stay much more local than in the past.
• Dressing better. I’m hoping that as I lose weight, I will enjoy clothes more. Right now, I am often dressed comfy, yes, but not very nice. I’ve improved my wardrobe slightly since last year, but I still have a long way to go.
• To work on making our home even more inviting to me and to others and then to invite people over more often. This is a bit built into my Happiness Project goals already, but is something I want to be sure to focus on.

I’ve worked hard over the past year and a half to create space in my life. I am now in a position to really concentrate on all of my various projects that are aimed at helping me be the best me that I can be.
