word and 2011

I have been thinking recently about my word for 2011...

and I have decided it is RECONNECT...

with connect meaning to show a relationship between one person or thing and another, connect someone with something, connect someone to something...

I am thinking about reconnecting to things and people...re establishing links...with things I used to do like horse riding, walking (if I can get over this plantar fascitis...very painful...), cooking and reading...and reconnecting with friends and family... but more about strengthening those relationships...slowing down, organising less each week and spending real time together...

So some personal goals for 2011...
  • get a horse and start riding again...
  • start swimming then walking to regain some fitness
  • try and read a book a month...or every two months...fiction or non fiction...
  • join in the Craft Book Challenge...see the button to the right...the idea being to actually sew something each month from a craft or sewing book you already own...

  • have coffee or lunch and go to the movies with friends more often...
  • organise at least one family outing when Ben is home...
  • work on decluttering my home...
  • do some more art...
  • try a new recipe each week...
  • start early and make some hand made Christmas presents..
  • sew some more clothes for the girls
  • sew some clothes and bags for the Children of the Forest...I have something big in mind for this year so stay tuned....
And here's hoping I achieve it all...what are your goals for this year? Lissy

Go for it!!! I hear you about the planter facitits (can't spell it but you know what I mean, I hope). I don't know what I did but mine just disappeared. My husband swears by orthotics he bought at the chemist (about 30 bucks) and just walking the blasted thing out. Good luck with all endeavours for 2011. i am looking forward to reading about your adventures. All the very best to you and your family in 2011.
