1 Thing in 2010

Was reading this post over at the When I Grow Up blog and found it a very cool idea. Just one thing, one intention for the new year. So I decided I would do the meme, and use this as my goals. So here it goes:

1. If you were only allowed to have 1 Intention for 2010, what would it be & why?

As I wrote in my last post, I want this year to be more restful, I want to get back to basics and sort of start over from scratch. So my intention for this year is to take my time, not overextend myself, and not overwhelm myself with goals.

2. If you were only allowed to have 1 Goal for 2010, what would it be & how can you achieve it?

My 1 goal actually encompasses a bunch of goals. I have a list of 30 things to do before I am 30. Which is a short 9 months away. That is the one thing I want to achieve. Some of the things on the list include:

• Reading 30 books
• Taking a dip in the Pacific Ocean
• Go to a parade
• Crochet a scarf
• Volunteer

some very attainable goals.

3. If you had to do 1 New Thing in 2010, what would it be? Will you commit to it now?

It would be to set aside time to create for me, this is something I have been trying to do for over  a year now, I think this is the year to finally do it.

4. If you had to get rid of 1 Thing in 2010, what would it be & why?

The excess, all the stuff I’ve held onto for years simply because it was a gift, or I feel guilty for thinking of getting rid of, even though it’s not something I need or ever use.

5. What have you achieved in 2009? List it all!

I redesigned my website like twice (plan for another redesign this year). Showed my work at the Brookfield Gallery Walk. Had a table at the Squam Art Fair and did well for my first time selling my art. Finished my very first quilt, which took well over a year to get done.  Some small accomplishments, some a bit bigger but all steps in the right direction.
