Snowflake 4: goals

[tielan]

• finish a publishable manuscript, even if it's only the first draft


• complete my finishalong goals


• attempt a nuanced conversation across the political divide in Australia (I'm not sure that I'd manage one across the divide in America; none of the 'across the aisle' types that I'm still talking to are open to listening right now)


• complete the cookbook_challenge

I think that's enough, actually. I feel like I should have set up a 'gardening' related goal, but...don't have the energy right now.

As it is, there's quite a lot there and I need to work on saying 'no' more often - even to things that I want to do.

There was a really interesting blog entry titled something like "is it a resolution, or is it capitalism" but I'd have to go find it right now and aint nobody got energy for that. edit: FOUND IT!

There was another interesting post (or possibly an instagram story) about saying 'no' to the 1-to-4s in your life, even if they're things you want to do. Because they'll suck energy from the 7s, 8s, and 9s that you actually want to do. edit: I remember who it was - Diana Kander, Jason Kander's wife. She got a Captain Marvel costume and took photos of herself in it at 9 months pregnant. It is AMAZING.

Considering I just left a bunch of comments on FB...I might need a few reminders of that through year. Once a week might do it...

It's been a day. A DAY. Even outside of the US. I can imagine how much worse it would be for you guys inside, and I am so grateful that I am not.

Many hugs and blessings to you all, and may you have the best day available to you.

I started to overload and then thought, "no, best not to." And yes, three is a manageable number!
