I want to learn knitting. It is a cliche  - I’m newly retired grandma, who recently tried a new cookie recipe and now is trying to knit Bijou on "Goals for 2025" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-for-2025#post-2377673 Mon, 06 Jan 2025 09:46:56 +0000 Bijou 2377673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Learn to play the electric guitar with a goal of at least 30 minutes daily practice. I started about 6 weeks ago and have managed to play most days and am enjoying the process of throwing myself into something completely new. My guitar was an impulse purchase, Fender released a pink Hello Kitty guitar, the universe was telling me it was time to learn! The girl at the local guitar shop said I need to learn to play thrash metal, but at the moment it is the Fender online guitar course which I am enjoying immensely.

My goals are - travel to new two places - read 12 books - two decent hikes - keep doing things that scare me - both personally and professionally. The last 12 months were dominated by work and a renovation (which is almost complete). Plus my voluntary board chair role that takes a lot of my time. This year has more travel involved and also a lot of work. We have taken on a new project at work to invest in so I will be managing my clothing budget more tightly this year! I step down from my Board chair role in August and will take on a different voluntary role - thinking something more hands on and less in leadership but I am yet to decide.

I’ve always baked bread, but used the same recipe for years!  In December I tried two different recipes, and the results were well received.  I’ve made it a goal to expand my bread baking repertoire and trying other recipes and different flours/grains. I’m intrigued by sourdough, but intimidated by the idea of making a starter. I’ve been swimming regularly, and doing Tai Chi - but I stopped weight training over a year ago - and it wasn’t a good idea.  I’m going to resume lifting - but I need to find the right place and the right program.  I’d like to find a local gym (a few small venues have opened up recently) or I might go back to the Y (neighbouring town.)  My goal is to start in March.  I will be looking for a trainer in the interim.

Not been there yet though. Nice goals!  Irina on "Goals for 2025" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-for-2025#post-2377414 Fri, 03 Jan 2025 00:31:15 +0000 Irina 2377414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great goals! Finding a new hairstyle is a big one! I so far figured out only one for myself - shop for clothes less :) In 2023 we spent two weeks in Crete in early October. We loved it! One of the best vacations ever.  The Cat on "Goals for 2025" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-for-2025#post-2377404 Thu, 02 Jan 2025 23:45:58 +0000 The Cat 2377404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice goals, citygirldc. Greek Isles and Turkey are pleasant to visit in May and September.

But speak to me before you go - island hopping is not trivial, and Greece shuts down for 5 months of the year. Go in September. AVOID Summer. They close the Acropolis because it's dangerously hot - no shade.  I've just figured out my colour and word of the year, and things will stem from there! cjh on "Goals for 2025" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-for-2025#post-2377310 Thu, 02 Jan 2025 14:06:07 +0000 cjh 2377310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Happy New Year, we all hope. Cat2, I sure know what you mean. Wishes for all that things go well…<div> </div><div>I just posted on SM yesterday, the rules I want to live by, because it seems like in most arenas, there are just too many rules and sometimes falling back on simple is best. <div> </div><div>“A good day to remind myself of my Five Rules. Be kind. Be a good listener. Project a pleasant attitude. Be responsible and do the chores. Don’t be too hard on yourself.” </div><div> </div><div>Otherwise, I’ll be continuing my goals/activities of my Paring Possessions Project, working on art (a big piece or two) for a local exhibit with some women artists, doing art for fun and mental health, running and Y workouts. Oh, and intentional connections - social activities which grow and strengthen friendships, old and new. I can see some coffee dates and game nights, perhaps?</div></div> cat2 on "Goals for 2025" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-for-2025#post-2377308 Thu, 02 Jan 2025 13:44:09 +0000 cat2 2377308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My entire 2025 list — other than reminders to follow physician instructions— is drawn from an article on how to reduce stress and anxiety published during the last Trump administration. citygirldc on "Goals for 2025" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-for-2025#post-2377303 Thu, 02 Jan 2025 13:00:59 +0000 citygirldc 2377303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Happy New Year all. Goodbye 2024.  It's a new year and I just celebrated my new year's birthday yesterday (55. Yikes!! Where does time to go?) and I reflect about the the last year. After retiring 2 years ago,  style and fashion have been on the back end for me.  But now, I'm ready to begin the new me. Some style goals: <ul> <li>Find quality clothing that will last longer than a few wears.</li> <li>Stick the the minimalist look, then add accessories to oomph up the outfit. (i.e. new eyeglasses)</li> <li>Get a nice bag that will last a long time.</li> <li>Find a new hair do</li> </ul> Personal health goals: <ul> <li>Take all my vitamins - why is this hard to do?</li> <li>Strength train - which I currently do</li> <li>Eat mindfully. I was lax during the holidays and it caught up wiht me.</li> <li>Lose weight, but focus on slow rather quick loss</li> <li>Drink lots of water - I'm horrible at this during the winter</li> <li>I would like to get a nice facial, but what to do?  I take care of my face pretty well, but wanted to treat myself.</li> <li>Take care of my mental health.  </li> </ul> Other goals: <ul> <li>Get new windows - much needed after 21 years.  Any recommendations for a good national company?</li> <li>Travel.  We haven't decided where yet. Thinking about he Greek Isles and Turkey but don't want to go during the summer months.</li> <li>visit family more.</li> </ul> Tell me your goals for the new year.
