NOTE: I recently found this post, but I never actually posted it to my blog. I’m doing that now as I post my update for 2021 and goals for 2022! I guess that perfectly sums up 2020 right there.
My word for 2020 was mindful. My intentions for the beginning of the year seem starkly different than what 2020 actually brought. The first three months of the year feel like a different lifetime than the last nine. Nevertheless, mindfulness with a useful intention, and the pandemic brought more mindfulness and time to consider and plan my responses to others.
Here were my goals for 2020:
Meditation, planning, and writing regularly. YES I actually meditated more than I ever have before. And I’m now at over 90 days of consecutive meditation. Meditation has been helpful for me to focus and reflect as I start each day. I’ve been journaling regularly as well, which really helps with reflection. And I’ve been planning in my Hobonichi weekly, which helps me focus and plan for each week and accomplish my tasks.
Read 36 books, including 12 middle grade books with D. YES
Participate in the Harry Potter knit and crochet house cup for all 3 sessions. Complete 2 OWLs (bigger knitting projects).
Continue with menu planning, shopping, and cooking.
Go hiking more often and explore Central Pennsylvania. YES
My word for 2021 is compassion.
