I completely stole this idea from my bestie over at Sabrina's Writing Reflections who is turning 30 in the fall, but I thought it was such a great one. Lately I've been so focused on all the things I can't do, when what I need is to focus on all the things I can do. My 30th birthday will be October 12, 2015, so I've definitely got a little bit of time. Maybe I'll finish early and have a whole new set in a year or two...but for now, here's my list and I'll probably repost it with stuff crossed off every 6 months in order to see how I'm doing. In no particular order:
- Participate in 6 craft fairs with my crochet stuff
- Don't let others get me down and remember this every day, "You is kind, You is smart, You is important"
- Read 30 new books (yes Sabrina I stole this)

Steal away, dear friend! Love, Love, LOVE #2 and may steal it myself. That was my fave line from the movie.
I still have a letter waiting on me to go get stamps so it can make its way to you. It doesn't really have news, but some advice, so won't be 'old' by the time it gets there.
I need to read that "Writing Down the Bones" book you talk about.
And I also need to work on getting my cards out on time. *sigh*
I love you, dear friend. And I miss you so much.
Another friend sent #2 to me the other day. Also Melanie suggested Writing Down the Bones. I borrowed her copy and got through the whole thing, but I'd like to have had more time with it. I felt rushed with the move and all.
I miss you too.
