Shannon 2011

I guess I need to start somewhere.....Here are the goals for "Shannon 2011"


1. More of a producer and less of a consumer--I want to use my stash (such as it is) rather than always buying something for each new project, TRY to cook more and generally invest in my surroundings and relationships. Sending out more than taking in....


2. Run a 5K in 2011--this is a larger goal for me than most folks. I'm in really bad shape and have never been very physically active (after all, it's hard to sip tea or knit while bouncing up and down). The steps to implement this project: registering for a 5K race in town, downloading the Couch to 5K app for my iPod, and scheduling time at the YMCA.....(insert, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" here)


3. Directed reading--I'm going to only read Christian books or those written prior to 1900. Since my reading has really dropped off over the last few months, this might not be too hard. :)


4. Proverbs 31--this is the theme of this blogging endeavor. I'm aspiring to display some of the wonderful characteristics of this paragon of godly behavior. I have a long way to go, but it's encouraging that she was a spinner. :)


OK, so this is a start for 2011...now, I have to learn how to take (and post) pretty pictures to my blog. Oh my....so much to learn.
