A circle in a roof shows the sky beyond. Saw this at Aidan’s school and loved it.
I love the whole “pick a word for the year” thing. Some years I do more with it, some years less.
(Here are the past years: 2022 - Clear, 2021 - Spacious, 2020 - Action , 2019 - True , 2018 - Grow, 2017 - Nest)
This year what jumped into my brain last night was: LEVEL. As in: level up. As in: level headed. Level best. “I’m going to level with you.” Being on the level. It’s going to be a year of putting my head down and doing the work.
2023 Goals:
Level up career-wise. I have a few ideas for this but nothing firm yet. But my 5-10 year plan is to be in an ED position somewhere so I’m making steps toward that.
Do two surf lessons. I’ve long wanted to surf! Only one way to do it.
Do a box jump at the gym. So far I psych myself out, so I’m going to work on this one.
Write the first draft of my novel. I started it in 2019, but have really gotten away from it. I want to get back to it, finish a draft and then see about an editor or an agent.
Pay down debt. This one’s simple. Fewer indulgences, probably no trips, but paying off debt.
Lastly I want to build an arch in my garden to grow beans on!
What are your goals for this year? Did you pick a word?
