We've hit the halfway point! It's absolutely *insane* for me to process that we're two weeks through 2015 already when it feels like Samhain was only yesterday.
My Yule decorations are still up even! Perhaps I should have included taking them down on my January list, buuuut, since I use Winter as a theme, I can get away with them being up a little bit longer. ;)
At this point some progress should be started on Life By Numbers, so, graced with a surprise day off from work, I decided to evaluate how I'm coming. This is an important part of the project. If we don't check in, we don't know where we're at. I learned that the hard way my first time around with this.
365- This is my daily journal. It's going. I love the book I found to write it in, and I think that helps. I've come to find I like spiral bound books best because I like to fold the covers back. Sometimes I get a bit behind in a day, but curling up with a tea at night has become a lovely ritual.
52- A recipe each week: Thusfar I have created a bone marrow broth that is a delicious base for soups, and a cajun spiced tortellini and sausage soup that we all just devoured.
30- Spend at least 10 minutes in contact with the cats. I don't know if it's actually helping my health since my blood pressure hasn't changed and I'm not generally a sad person, BUT they are becoming closer to me. They now greet me at the door and make a point to be with me for longer periods of time than ever before. It's lead to some amusing and joyful moments that I cherish, and that is always a good thing.
12- Book: I'm reading The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis. Despite it being a quick read it's slow going for me as I feel like I have so many other things I'd like to be doing. This is highly unusual for me as I normally devour a book a week.
Art: I have been working on a Greenman drawing, a winter woodman in theme, one I've not seen before. I'm very excited about him.
4- Submit a piece of writing to a contest or publication: I haven't even begun to research this. I should but I get so nervous just thinking about it that I procrastinate by doing *anything* else. I think this is why I put it in the "once every quarter" category.
101-
A. Host a Sunday Gathering (planned for the 25th) Email Terri (Done!)
B. Create a 101 in 1001 workbook page (not even close yet, maybe this weekend)
DONE C. Inspiration remake it pages- catalog photos ripped out and organized into inspiration pages (Done!), 1 scrapbook pg (Done 2!)
D. 1 Chapter each- Addie (2 and still going!), Red (2 and going!), Dove (not yet)
E. Eat at least one serving of colorful fruit/veg each day. (so far, so good!)
F. 52 week money thing ($3 in! lol)
G. PBP- autonomy, ancestors or journal thoughts on evil, and quiet progress (lots of thinking here)
H. Organize and add to Bedlam Drink Recipes book, washi tape for sides (coming along, have two more new ones to add)
I. 1 popsicle stick location (thinking the Webster museum)
DONE J. Remake it/Dematerial: clean out jammie drawer (Done!) and/or remake Okracoke shell into viable necklace (Done!)
DONE K. Art Journal or Zentangle (Did the latter and hated it. I found it boring and tedious and not "Zen" at all but I'm glad I tried it)
Progress is being made here at Bedlem!
How's it going in your world?
