after a lovely rainy morning spent eating chocolate cake, drinking coffee, and pretty much just hanging out while listening to the Ani DiFranco/Utah Phillips album "Fellow Workers", E headed home to do laundry and get ready for tonight's shift.
tomorrow is the traditional first day of the school year, and that's probably why, for me, September has always felt like a more appropriate time to make goals and resolutions for a new year. so much anticipation in the air! new supplies, new clothes, a heart full of potential, ready for a Fresh Start.
*dreamy sigh*
*arranges notebook and pencils*
here are the goals i'm working on right now:
-Minimize possessions
-Become an active participant in activism for things i believe in
-Get my MI massage license
-Pay off credit card and student loans
-Get new shocks, struts, and tires
-Build a $1,000 emergency fund
-Learn new modalities/broaden my skill set
today, i'm taking lots of small steps - doing laundry, sorting through and consolidating boxes of things in the basement, joining my MichFest sisters in emailing the NCLR's board of directors, finishing my license application, window-shopping to compare tire prices, and rewarding myself for all the above by trying out a pattern for a crocheted baby cowboy hat. progress and yarn go so well together, yes?
enjoy the holiday, and take a minute to thank those who went before us and fought for better wages, hours, and working conditions...and remember the millions around the world for whom these rights are still a dream.
