Monthly Reflection

First Published: 2022 November 1

Draft 1

Another month, another monthly reflection.

My goals were:¹

1. Blog daily. Eventually this goal will happen.

2. Stretch daily. I’m going to stretch right after this, just so I make sure to do it.

3. Figure out how to repair/improve my accordion case. I made some notes today, and I think I should be able to get some of it done by the end of the month.

4. Write a poem every day. I did feel like the poems I wrote helped me ease into sleep, and they certainly help me write songs better.

5. Finish the newest song I’m working on.

6. Make progress on catching up for BiaY.

7. Fill in at least 3 more items on my 24 for 24.

How’d we do?

1. 17/31 blogs. That’s more than half, so improvement.

2. I had about a week where I stretched, so that didn’t go horribly.

3. Turns out repair was as simple as taping it back together, so I gave up on that project.

4. I wrote a couple of poems, rough estimate of 12, so could do better.

5. I not only finished it, I’ve performed it!

6. Lots of progress, I’m now at day 232.

7. I added two new points, so I’m on schedule if not my goal

In the next month I’m going to try:

1. Blog every day. I believe in this month.

2. Stretch every day.

3. Write a poem every day. I’m doing a poem a day with some friends, so I’m accountable there.

4. Finish NaNoWriMo successfully

5. Make progress towards catching up on BiaY

6. At least two entries in 24².

Let’s see how we do!

Outside of my goals, I had a pretty good month. I’m making new friends and deepening existing relationships, which is always nice.
