I did not make New Year’s resolutions. I was trying to declare a goal or an intention for the year, but my brain could not come up with the ideal word that would encapsulate my intention for 2022.
I started simply by saying I wanted to read more. I completely stopped reading during the pandemic. I could not concentrate, but I was determined to turn it around. I would say I was a woman on a mission, but honestly, a mission requires a great deal of focus, concentration, and dedication. I laugh at the thought! 😂
So, I have a goal with no parameters. There is no finish line I am marching toward. I am simply reading more.
No missions for me unless I take another photography trip to New Mexico and visit a few historic missions. That’s the kind of mission I can get my head around. But not flying. Not yet.
I am finished rambling now.

I’m reading fewer books too. You’d think I’d be consumed with them during a pandemic, but my focus drifts away. Yet, like you, I’m trying to get back to them. A mission

Good luck. When I can focus, I enjoy reading very much.

I was just thinking that I barely read books anymore. The last ones I read was my fifth time reading through the Clan of The Cave Bear Series which was several years ago! I have a mission, well, several missions for this year but I’m just going to sort of work on them as I go, no pressure. Must enjoy the journey or I’m out! LOL!

I am trying to step outside my comfort zone as far as the genre I normally read. It has been a nice journey.

I have no resolutions or goals. If I survive my 70th year in 2022, that will be enough for me.
Best wishes, Pete.

I like having “more” as a goal. It is definitely achievable in many areas of my life. Except for sweets!

Makes sense to me! I used to have very specific goals and missions, and maybe someday I will again. But now, a general goal or two is good enough.

It is hard to focus on anything more.

I know. It’s especially hard to focus over time.
