It’s been about 3 weeks since I declared my intentions to be deliberate in 2012. How’ve I done? Well…

I’m still running/walking with the Couch to 5K program. It’s been cold, my shins hurt a little, and sometimes I think I’ll never make it, but I’m still giving it my best.

I picked up the phone to call (okay, text) a friend. We set a play date and we watched our kids play hard while we enjoyed a cup of coffee and a wonderful chat.

I made a black skirt. This was a very deliberate descion on several levels. First, I knew I wanted to sew. Rather than just make up a pattern that was appealing to me, I decided to take a look in the closet to see what I needed. I decided that I could use a causal/weekend uniform skirt. I choose to replicate a store bought skirt I loved and wore all summer. I lengthend it for the fall. Lastly, I choose to complete the skirt in one evening. Hooray! These means I didn’t add another project to my UFO pile (UFO=UnFinished Object).

I’m doing a better job sneaking veggies and fruits into my family’s diet. This has been easier with our garden and our road trips lately. I found some amazing veggies at a Farmer’s Market down in Destrehan. (Thanks Jane!) I’ve also been to New Orleans and Little Rock so I could grab a few things at Whole Foods.

I really like this “One Word” thing. It’s been rewarding to discover that I’m following my intentions rather than failing at resolutions.
