“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.”
― T.S. Eliot
I spent much of my year involved with work activities, I hope to change the focus toward living and savoring each precious moment. I plan to retire sometime during the upcoming year, more likely near the end of 2015. I want to make this last year of work the best ever!
What follows is a list of challenges in 2014 and things I would love to accomplish in 2015.
- Work achievements include growth in conservation education programs and establishing new connections with educators.
- Work challenges such as signing 100% of the school districts and then individual school buildings await my efforts to achieve in the upcoming year.
- Personal achievements include completing a work studio, writing drafts for picture books, reading new books, completing a drawing journal, completing a drawing course, starting a language course,
- Personal challenges include improving my physical fitness, writing children's books, creating a formal garden, drawing and painting in my new studio, on line class, study guitar, travel, learn French...
When I was a little girl my heroine was Dale Evans. I recently found a quote attributed to her. It still speaks to me of how I want to live and love in 2015.
"Cowgirl is an attitude, really. A pioneer spirit. A special American brand of courage. The cowgirl faces life head on, lives by her own lights, and makes no excuses. Cowgirls take stands, they speak up. They defend the things they hold dear." -- Dale Evans
