Reflecting on my 2025 goals.
My 2025 word was NEW, for a new role at work, a new
grandbaby, and new adventures. Explore and take in new things, establish
stronger friendships and new rhythms, and experience health and movement
through a new lens.
Most of the year I slept better, so the HR project testing role
seems like a good fit even if it is still chaos. We prioritized spending time with Poppy, had
a lot of successes loving on her and helping her parents out. New adventures, maybe.
Mini goals were trying new local restaurants, reading less
books to make time for more movies, and investing more in friendships and
hanging out with others. We tried at
least a dozen new to us downtown restaurants, some with a new “supper club”
group at church trying to explore Belltown eateries. Read a lot fewer books, 40 instead of normal
of 60+. Saw close to 40 movies,
including more at the SIFF film festival.
We took in new and traditional outings, alone and with friends or
family, joined a new small group and finance group, but can always use more
community.
Health is slightly better but not transformed. Leaned into WHOOP, diving into the detailed
lab testing, more zone 2 and zone 4 work, more strength training, and more
yoga. Feeling better but not yet where I
want to be. Grateful I didn’t gain weight
over the holidays and that I ended the year a few pounds lighter.
This necklace, representing NEW and Poppy girl, has been
with me for a year. It will feel odd to
hang it with the others that came before it.
And more to something different since my normal Etsy artist is on maternity
leave. Here’s to all things new!
