Time for New Year's Reshaping 2017 Style

I've collected some thoughts which I hope I can lay my hands on some time today or tomorrow. My 101 things to accomplish in 1001 days ended last July. I want to repeat some on a yearly basis. I mean, there's just so much you can do realistically.  I love challenges, especially when there's a game element to them and recognition of any kind at the end.

One year I made ONE resolution.  It was to touch each of my children in a gentle way every day. It was one of the best life changes I ever made. Another year I made ONE resolution. It was to have one sit down meal every day with the table fully set.  It was another powerful life change. Many of the positive changes did not begin as resolutions. There was a year or two that we had daily morning family devotionals. There were many years where we read aloud from a novel every night. There were many years where we read scriptures together as a family daily, with each one of us taking a turn reading aloud.

This year I'd like to...

  •  plow through my scrapbooking backlog.
  • read at least ten books I already own
  • tackle one cubby hole each month -- handling item and managing each
  • do one craft project a month -- I've collected so many ideas
  • edit my "Vivie", "Libby V.", and "Lib" stories and begin my "Vera" story.
  • tackle my 'homeshool' albatross
  • complete the "Write-Brain Workbook", which means I will be making 366 posts
So, here goes...
