2008 Resolution Update

[draconis]

A couple that are on-track, a couple that need improvement, and one total washout

Ongoing, and effective immediately:

• Meditate at least 3 times per week -- only doing so-so with this one. Usually managing once/twice a week, and not for very long.


• Weather permitting, walk to/from kempo class -- weather hasn't really been permitting this one, although I have been getting walks at lunch most days, plus two nights a week.


• Run full forms set at least once per week -- sadly, no. I've done the full set a couple of times, but definitely not every week. This one will have to improve.


• Resume "Sakari" workouts (stances, physical conditioning, techniques, drills, forms) 2/week -- This one has been a total washout. I haven't even done that workout once this year. 8-(

By first weekend in February:

• Measure back yard and begin planning garden layout -- measured and mapped. We've discussed a few ideas, but haven't settled on anything firm.

Before July 11:

• Recover full proficiency with all forms as taught at Memphis Aiki-Kai dojo -- on track.


• Weight down under 200 lbs. -- on track.

Miscellaneous:

• Finish painting the remaining rooms of the house -- this one is on hold until warmer weather, so we can let the place air out afterwards.


• Get remaining pieces of artwork hung -- have taken measurements for several pieces and started looking at frames for them. One frame acquired and picture mounted in it, but not yet hung.
