Monthly Check-Up

Energy and persistence alter all things. ~Benjamin Franklin 

A new month has already begun so I am late with my Monthly Check-Up, but there is nothing I can do about that now.  Here is an account of my progress in achieving the goals I set out here for the year:

1. I did use some stash yarn in making two Christmas ornaments, a heart garland, and a cute heart amigurumi, but I also bought some more yarn for the afghan I’m making for my grandson.
2. I did finish four WIPs--the above mentioned Christmas ornaments, heart garland, and heart amigurumi.
3. I did not walk in February. The weather was too cold and I was too lazy.  I do have plans to begin again tomorrow morning.
4. I did stick to the mostly vegan diet most of the month. I succeeded in losing some weight and lowering my blood sugar levels. Need to be more consistent, however, in my eating habits.
5. I did blog and write in my journal regularly.
6. I did not call my parents once a week, but did call them twice in February.
7. I still did not get a new primary care physician.  Hopefully, this month.
8. I did read a piece of classic literature in February (White Fang by Jack London) and I did finish reading January’s selection also (Call of the Wild by Jack London). I am currently reading Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
9. I did not make a baby quilt yet, but I am signed up for a Basic Quilting Class this coming Saturday, March 12^th!
10. I did not make a family photo album for my children yet.  Still haven't looked at all the pictures I have in those 3 big boxes.
11. I did keep in touch through e-mail and some cards with several of my long-distance friends.  

Still just six out of eleven, but I feel like I am making some good progress.  I feel more energized and motivated to stick to my plans and get things accomplished.
