An Update to my Pondering...

Inspired by a comment on my Pondering post encouraging me to do it all, I looked at the list of items that have been mulling around in my head and thought to myself "What am I waiting for?" So here's my update:

• jigsaw puzzle - complete
• financial independence - created a financial to-do list for the next few months and Savings projections for 2009; completed a few actions on the to-do list
• moving forward with my dream of operating a creative studio made of straw bales - brainstormed on what it could be and what needed to be done to create it (via mind map)
• hosting a Creative Salon - brainstormed on what it could be and what needed to be done to create it (via mind map)
• making a pot of homemade winter vegetable soup - done and yum!
• creating a painting a day for one week - two paintings down, five to go
• cleaning the kitchen, office and bathroom - all in progress
• joining Facebook - done and will you be my friend?

Not bad for a few days eh?

Although having kids and achieving financial independence might have to wait a while, some of the items on the list are quite achievable. All it takes is a little motivation to take action (thank you Kirsten!). I might crash tomorrow, but right now taking action feels pretty gosh darn good.
