Goals for 2026, New Year Same Me.

I have not written a post for this new year. I have been feeling a little bleh… Sometimes I get into mindsets where I tell myself If I only had (X) then I would be able to do (Y). Yet we all know that is further from the truth. If I really wanted to, I would do it. We are our worst enemies. I find time to waste but not time to create. Then I start to wonder what this is all for. Right when I was bringing in more views to my blog, I stopped posting. It is like the extra exposure made me run away and hide. I hide from my plants. I hide from my books. Slowly everything starts to deteriorate. Something that was once so soothing to do. Causes more stress beyond my imagination. I blame the winter for this one. It's been cold…

Garden goals

Last year I wrote some blogs with some ideas I wanted for my garden. I don’t think I've been able to complete a single one. One thing that did flourish in my garden was the flowers. The flowers in my garden had a long blooming season. I was able to enjoy them till early winter. My sunflowers and cosmos really kept blooming. A lot of my store-bought flowers died since they didn't really transfer well. After my mint plant was struggling and full of webs, it began to produce a lot more foliage after the rains. A random potato started growing during the winter, and my squashes really took off. They took forever to grow and produce flowers. The plants what to grow when they want to grow and that is okay. Naturally they take their time and start blooming when they see fit.

Goals for the sharing box

I host a sharing library and a library box. I keep it up all year round. During my hiatus I did neglect to keep the bookshelf organized and stocked. I am glad neighbors continue to put things in the boxes when I cannot.  Just this week I cleaned out the insides of each shelf and refreshed the books and giveaway items. I hope to continue with this adventure. I would like to add a new paper and bookmark holder. To keep things organized sometimes the little stuff rolls out the shelf and then gets trashed when it doesn't get picked up. I would like to again start to provide weekly snacks along with some handmade items. I love crafting and sometimes I like to make things just to make things and don't see a reason to sell it in my shop. 

Goals for myself

My mind is empty… but I would like to do more things. Volunteer more, outreach, make someone happy, fill my time with happiness! Read more books, write more, plant more, love more, draw more, exercise more. Go running with my dog, visit the museum, have fun collecting things, and enjoy nature more. Last year I was all about love and continuing to be a better version of myself and I still think that is important. These are my goals for 2026.
