Cricket's Thoughts

40 Days & 40 Nights

Okay, maybe it hasn’t been quite as long at that, but it sure feels like it has been a long time since we have seen the sunshine around here.

I may have to learn to like camping and hiking in the rain, because I so need some time in nature.

Or, maybe I just need to learn how to kayak?

Smell The Coffee

Come on, don’t you ever stop and smell the coffee?”
Justina Chen, North of Beautiful

As long as there was coffee in the world, how bad could things be?”
Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

No matter what historians claimed, BC really stood for “Before Coffee.”
Cherise Sinclair, Master of the Mountain

Coffee smells like freshly ground heaven.”
Jessi Lane Adams

I can’t stop drinking the coffee. I stop drinking the coffee, I stop doing the standing and the walking and the words-putting-into-sentence doing.”
Amy Sherman

Writing Down My Goals

I honestly don’t know if it helps to actually write down your goals, but just in case, here goes…

  • Learning to clean as I go. (Join FlyLady and follow the steps?)
  • Getting my diabetes consistently under control. (Clean eating!)
  • Learn new healthy low carb recipes.
  • Get back into walking every day.
  • Keep my personal blog updated. (Start a blogging challenge?)
  • Improve my writing skills.
  • Continue learning. (Take some online classes?)
  • Focus on random acts of kindness.
  • Take more pictures and improve photography skills. (Especially iPhoneography)
  • Take a solo weekend backpacking trip.
  • Attend a Tiny House workshop.
  • Drink more plain water.
  • Join a meetup group.
  • Spend more time with my grandchildren.
  • Create an inspirational (and organized) home office area.
  • Concentrate on not wasting electricity. (My summer bills in Texas kill me!)
  • Simplify my life by throwing away or donating item I do not use.
  • Organize the boxes of pictures my mother collected into albums for the family.
  • Stop THINKING about doing things and just start DOING them.
  • Avoid throwaway plastic items, such as water bottles.
