2020 Vision

I love a project. I love making lists of things to do. So I wanted to do something special for 2020. I had time to think and doodle a while back... just a list of 20 things didn't seem like enough. Twenty  of anything just seemed too ... simple... but 20 lists of 20 things each? Well, that's a project.

So... here's my 2020 vision.

20 hikes
Ideally most of these will be new hikes rather than old favorites. Snowshoe trips count as hikes.

20 bike rides
Not just a little commute, but say a trip downtown or something longer would count.

20 runs of at least 5K
They don't hall have to be races -- I just need to set a low bar to get back into running.

20 swims
The ultimate goal is to swim a mile at the open-water swim.

20 books read
No big books this year -- but I'm going to count each of the volumes of Macauley's History of England as a separate book.

20 sketches
Ideally I'll do this as a 30-day challenge again...

20 paintings
I'd like to go through the sumi-e workbook and play with my watercolor set. Not art, just paintings.

20 crafty blog posts / check-ins
Should be quite easy, since there will be 17 SAL check-ins, plus a couple of scrap posts too.

I'd love to make a sampler of some sort using at least 20 stitches.

20 things off my 101 things in 1001 days list
This is a bit of a cheat -- but will allow me to do a range of projects.

I'll try to keep this page updated, and do a monthly roundup. I do like a big project!
