The beginning of a new year is historically that point where you reflect on last year and make your resolutions/intentions for the next.

For me, it’s also the anniversary of starting this blog.

First up, a quick wrap up of December activities –

• The Apple Watches remain a big hit. I had a Fitbit for more than 3 years, and I really liked it, but the watch has more fitness features and partly because I think they are better, and partly because it’s new, it’s been a great motivator for the winter season. I’ve added a LOT of activity to my day in an effort to close my green and pink rings, and my overall health is benefitting from it.
• I completed my Yay Every Day Tracker. If you didn’t grab one last year, it’s available as a free printable download from this post. The concept is write down one thing every day that made you say “Yay!” which is about as much journaling as I can commit to. I must say it was fun this past weekend to look back over all my entries, and there are a good many of them that involve what I had for dinner, but it worked. I can remember a lot of the good things that happened in 2018 this way.
• I’ve done something big and scary. I’ve launched an Etsy shop which so far has a few cutting files for Silhouette or Cricut cutting machines, but I have plans to add cards, notepads and a few other craft items. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but I kept putting it off trying to get it perfect before I shared it. I thought it would be harder than it was (isn’t it always?) and once I had that going I keep moving and set up accounts with two sites that will let me offer my artwork on a whole host of products.

So, big plans for January?
