Is It Too Early To Start Making New Year's Resolutions?

It is funny how as we get older our interests change. For example, when I was younger, I had pen pals (yes, I am aging myself). Our family traveled a lot when I was little and I would meet kids my age, exchange addresses (ancient times lol) and we would write letters back and forth. I loved it and even though I did not realize it at the time, I guess you could say it was my 'hobby.'

As I lost touch with my writing buddies and got a little older, my interests and hobbies changed. I got really big into reading. I talked about this in a previous blog. I would read book after book after book all through my teen years. I was a little bookworm.

Now as an adult, I have something new that I want to try. Two things that I would like to learn to do and turn into a new hobby. Random....I want to learn how to knit #1 and how to write in calligraphy #2. I warned you they were two of the most random things that you could think of!

For some reason, I picture myself someday, older, knitting for my future grandchildren. I want to be the wela that knits all kinds of cool stuff that they will think is cheesy at first but will appreciate once I'm gone. And calligraphy has always caught my attention. When you see anything that is written in calligraphy, it is so beautiful. Adult goals, I will learn both eventually.

Maybe I just set 2 goals for the new year for myself. My resolutions if you will. Perhaps 2024 is the year I finally make it happen.
