Social and Space

As I mentioned, I had an extrovert moment or a fill-the-calendar-void moment ... or something. 

Of course, I need to keep quiet time, SPACE on the calendar too. Balance -- which I don't always do well.

What's on the books, you ask?
LOTS of stuff in my town.

A concert.
An author talk x2.
A Black History presentation and lunch.
Rock painting gatherings.
A dinner and local mayor event.

All walking ... all with people. 

And still about 6 social "let's get together in 2026" gatherings that I'll need to be the driver on planning over January and February. I took a breath on those because I felt I was in a kind of "manic" planning mode and that can lead to regret hah!

Plus a couple solo things that need to go on the calendar or they won't happen ... using a pottery gift card (finally) and a local thrift crawl. 

Several January house projects in the works too.


My empty New Year is filling well. As I said, I need to make sure I don't overfill it or rush everything. I heard someone say when planning a commitment down the road ... would you do it if it was NOW. That helps decide if it's a filler, a meh yes, or something you'll be excited to have on the calendar.


That's a little taste of what I've been doing.
This week is a lot of SPACE. 
Again, space doesn't mean sofa slugging. 
It's productive fun stuff and a little socializing too.
Off to work on the 26 for 2026 list (almost ready) and a rock quarry visit.

Have a good Monday. Later gators.
P.S. I did in fact go too hard on the cookies. Dang. But, also, of course I did. Not a shock to anyone (including me). That ends my baking bug for a bit lol. Time to get my pants fitting well again.
