To-do list of simple pursuits

I’ve pursued these before, but I would like to renew them…

1. Read poetry

Emily Dickinson, Marilyn Chandler McEntyre, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, to begin with.

2. Decorate my home

Reorganize, declutter, and create a more inviting atmosphere.

I do this already, but I want to do it even more, especially outdoors.

What simple things would you like to pursue?

1. Read
2. Workout
3. Crochet
4. Take Pictures
5. Blog
6. Keep up with friends!

Ditto to #6! :-)

Honestly, organize my spice cabinet. It’s sort of an excessively simple pursuit, but highly necessary. Also, I wouldn’t mind being a better home decorator. If only I could learn all these things before I get married in just a few months. ;)

Good list! Many of those would be on mine right now as well.

I love your list. I think I’m with ya on those :)

Organize family pictures and put some up on the walls, paint rooms, paint pictures or draw, calligraphy, embroidery, sewing, more reading. I like the pictures you posted here, btw.

Bonhoeffer! Mmm…

Your list sounds good to me – fall brings out the “baker” in me, and the cold weather in general makes me want to curl up in the evenings with some craft project or another (I’ve got a few in the works right now, actually). I definitely want to write more – poems, fiction, plays, whatever. And exercise. I walk a few miles a week, but I’d love to pick up jogging again or even workout DVDs in my living room. :)
