hustling on the resolutions in april ....

this year's resolution was multi part ....

art .... do something artsy 200 times this year .... i am off schedule on this one .... easily noticeable to any blog followers because i've been doing a poor job of updating my blog..... though in the first three months of the year i did art on 35 days ... that's not on track for 200 in a year though ... hopefully this summer i'll get in 100 in 100 days ....
that's a new pottery piece i made on one of my art days .... happy, springy colors, right?

exercise ... also to do 200 days ....  oy. what made me want to do such a big number? new year's enthusiasm i guess! .... but in the first three months i did 56 days of exercise. that's actually pretty good ... and on target to be successful ... i've been doing lots of planks, push ups and squats .... and tennis ... and slowly working my way back to running (darn plantars fasciitis!)

meals with pals .... basically going out with friends .... breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks .... my goal is 50 for the year. and i've done 22 in the first three months ... i didn't really have a way to gauge how many i did last year to know what a reasonable goal was.  50 seemed reasonable ... but now it seems low! i put it on the list because it is one of the things that makes me super happy. .... and if it makes you super happy, you should do it more often, right?

and books.
i said i'd read 100 books this year. i've done it before, but don't read 100 every year .... and as of today, i've read 33 .. and well into 34 ... so a third of the way done before a third of the year has slipped by ...
here's a link to my blog book list..... and the main way to achieve this is reading every day. not a day of 2014 has gone  by where i didn't read .....

happy reading.  happy resolutions. go ahead and hustle and keep stuff going! my next hustle needs to be to get back on track with documenting my art on the blog ....

happy easter ....
