I choose to believe that these columbine are from the seeds that I guerilla planted at the rose garden last summer.

Mom, you’d be pleased. They’re beautiful.

Had a nice time visiting with dad at the house. It was nice to catch up. We hadn’t really visited in a while.

Looking back to last January 1st, my ambitious goal was to…read a book. So sad.

This next year I’ll give up on journaling every day. I don’t think it got me anything.

Maybe 2023 will be the year I go back to the gym. My mood has been crap lately. A little more exercise couldn’t hurt.

Whomsoever reads this, have an incredible 2023! I hope all your dreams come true!!

Edit: thought I’d attach something else I did all year. To the best of my memory…these are all the movies I watched all the way through in 2022. If I didn’t watch the credits roll, it didn’t go on the list.

Friday. Took charisma to the mall and doing some errands.

Then I was exhausted and ate some cookies and napped. The adventure museum wad BUSY. So many screaming kids

Charisma is over tonight. We made pizza and cookies.

Also we sewed, painted, drew, sent a letter, played monopoly and upwords, and reframed some art. Our attention spans are about the same.
