It’s been pretty good so far, settling into this new year. I had one day of school, and then a snow day, so you can’t really beat that.

I’m halfway through a new book. I stayed up until almost 3 in the morning last night turning the pages quicker than lightning. Zan and I went on a de-cluttering spree on January 1st. That felt amazing. I went to the yarn shop because I’m going to use my knit and purl skills to make a cowl scarf this winter. We bought an alarm clock– an actual old school alarm clock– and I haven’t slept with my phone in the room once in 2014.

Good things, all very very good things.

I found this 52 week list project on Pinterest and I’m going to try it out for awhile. I like lists. I can do lists.

Here’s my week one.

This has helped me choose my “word” for 2014 as well, since that’s what I’ve decided to do this year. I’ve never chosen a word before but this year is going to be THE year. I liked my resolution list last year, but ultimately felt clogged down by it in the end. I don’t like feeling clogged down– I like freedom, wiggle room, a space to dance– and so this year I’m simply going to pick a word to encompass that. I will share soon!

What’s your word? What words touch your soul?
