Snowflake normally includes a post to share goals, which is when I was planning to do this, but it didn't, so I haven't. However, with three months left of my year, it's about time I look at how things have been going.

Goal No 1: Do a Themed Monthly Post

Definitely a good goal and I've enjoyed posting a monthly selection of the view from our bedroom window, together with various bonus windows.

Goal No 2: Accept the Unexpected

Definitely a few of those, but they haven't thrown me badly, even if they have required a change of plans. Our October holiday plans to north Wales were completely remade two days before departure, so we went to south-west Wales instead. The weather when we were due to go to London to see The Red Shoes meant travel was dubious (trains freak at the first sign of a snowflake) meant we cancelled in time to get a credit note and have rebooked for a performance in Cardiff in March. Not to mention the disruption of a quiet evening by The Daughter phoning to say 'how about going to Paddington the Musical' and getting it all sorted within two hours. And managing to crack a rib in the middle of December, which didn't stop me doing most things, but did require certain adjustments.

Goal No 3: To Embrace My Personal Interests

Definitely going with it. Less courses because there's nothing much which appeals, but that's within the personal interests. I currently have 9 books on the go. 7 stitching projects and a jumper to knit.

25 Things in 2025

All finished - hooray!

26 Photos in 2026
The first two are posted, and the next will be posted on Saturday.

And now I need to start thinking about my next set of goals. I definitely like doing a monthly themed photo post, so will continue with that, although I haven't decided on a theme. And I'd like to have something nature based, but am not sure what as yet. All goal suggestions will be considered, if not adopted.
