It’s been a long while since I thought about the list of 22 things I made back in January of this year. I’ve probably been avoiding it since I know not much on the list happened.
Here’s a scary look at my progress.
My 22 for 2022 List Reviewed And Updated:
- Join in for every Happy Homemaker Monday *I’ve missed a few but kept up pretty well*
Read 82 booksI’ve read 102 books so far!- Follow the Fly Lady Plan (Adapting the days to work for my schedule) *Not currently happening*
Learn to use the laptop computer (my son gave me his old one in the summer and I’ve ignored it)We shelved this idea as my son’s laptop was so slow!- Host Easter brunch *Did not happen*
- Celebrate Rudolph Day each month with a bit of Christmas planning *Started great, then fizzled*
- Share gratitude each week with a Thankful Thursday post *Haven’t managed to do this every week*
- Drink a minimum of 3 glasses of water a day *ha, HA, nope. Needs to happen still*
- Go on a vacation *St Louis was a bit of a vacation, we have a trip with friends planned in October but a genuine just us or us and the kids vacation, not yet.*
- Take at least 3 “people” pictures for each major holiday/occasion *I’ve actually somewhat kept up with this despite a reluctant family*
- Make a photo book of 2021 and then delete all the pictures off the computer (or put them on a flash drive) *Not yet*
- Frame J’s all-district band photos (the one from 2019 and the one from 2021 when we get it) *Not yet*
- Use it up and/or throw it out before buying new (with things like wrapping paper for example) *I’d say I’ve been about 50% successful with this, maybe a little less*
- Add in an evening skin care routine *I bought some new moisturizer, does that count? Need to be better about using it*
- Try one new restaurant each month as a family *Good idea, proving harder to actually do*
- Go through one bin in the basement each week (to clear out and declutter) *HA, I wish*
- Fix wedding ring *SIGH, this shouldn’t be hard and yet…*
- Organize Pinterest boards by actually trying pins and deleting ones that are no longer relevant *Ongoing process*
- Start doing yoga again *Not yet*
- Make a better effort to reach out and connect with friends and family *Need to work on this still*
- Create a master list of family birthdays *Not yet*
- Take the coffee cup advice and enjoy myself (I use this coffee cup a lot of work days as a reminder to myself to just enjoy the time with the preschool kids) *Too vague to properly gauge*
***********
After reviewing my list, I suppose all hope is not lost. Not as much progress as I’d liked but I still have a few months to make a bit more progress. It was good to just look at the list again. I’d not done that in quite a long time. Many thanks to Tamy over at Chasing My Life for posting about her list reminding me to review my own.
Did you make a list of 22 for 2022? How’s your list going?
