I didn't even write a Christmas letter this year because I felt like nothing major got done or accomplished. Hopefully next year I'll get more done and I'm definitely using up more stash!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12385099.post-1167773788816590932007-01-02T13:36:00.000-08:002007-01-02T13:36:00.000-08:00these sound like great resolutions.

Good luck with the implementation.<BR/><BR/>I did want to say that I know what you mean about the lack of milestones at this phase of life. As a kid and in school, it seems like you're hitting milestones every other day, and then it comes to a screeching halt once you have a job but no kids yet. I have often had a sense of a lack of forward progress for that reason. All I'm saying is you're not alone, and I like your idea of looking at knitting progress as a way of observing that SOMETHING really did happen this year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12385099.post-1167727801291294692007-01-02T00:50:00.000-08:002007-01-02T00:50:00.000-08:00I really like this post.

It really helped to change my attitude toward spending (resources and money). And, having kids and all the junk that comes with them has given me a new appreciation for simplification in my life. One of my current goals is definitely to simplify our lives in terms of the material possessions that clutter our home. I'm so happy to see that I'm not alone with these thoughts (does it have something to do with the age we've reached - we've had just the right amount of time to accumulate more than we need??).<BR/><BR/>Good luck with all this. I'll be happy to watch your progress.The Stitchin' Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790044606072702756noreply@blogger.com
