This year I have been inspired by Gretchen Rubin and her sister Elizabeth Craft to try out a strategy called 20 for 2020. The idea behind this is simple, pick 20 things that you would like to do/work on and commit to doing them for the year. So the 20 I have picked are:
- Climb Cnoc Mordáin (hill near where I grew up) did it with my son
- Complete a cross stitch piece (in progress – not finished yet – didn’t get to finish it)
- Listen to Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky on audio book – Done – that’s one thing I’m never going to do again…non-stop misery!!!
- Go to a musical – did that online – watched Jesus Christ Superstar
- Go to a play – not yet –
- Colour 5 mandalas that’s (done)
- Visit Scéirde (another local location) not done and probably won’t be
- Lose a stone weight (in progress) – struggling with this to be honest.
- Listen to Wuthering Heights audio book (Done – fascinating to listen to a book I had done in school – Heathcliff=SERIOUS ISSUES..)
- Plant some spuds (no, think that was my fantasy self – I’m not a gardener) Nope, not done
- Try another acting course – COVID has sort of put paid to that. Not done either
- Identify and walk three new routes (did that – but only walked them once)
- Book a session with a stylist (Nope and again given that we are all in lockdown – pretty sure it won’t happen this year). Not done either
- Do a pilgrim walk (had it planned – off the radar now)
- Listen to Jane Eyre on audio (Done)
- Do 1000 piece jigsaw (Done)
- Visit Harry Clarke stained glass window (Tully Cross) – Done
- Visit Harry Clarke stained glass window (Renvyle) – Done
