Looking ahead
It's time I gave some thought to how I'll shape 2016 for myself.
An intense wave of boredom washed over me today. Maybe it's a good sign of waking up. 2015 hasn't been a good year; at least not the second half. Nothing bad happened except a tough bout of depression, and that's bad enough for everything. My mood usually starts to pick up by the end of December, but this time I feel the toughness holding onto me.
I need to operate "as if" things were going to get better. That requires a call to action for the year ahead.
Several projects have suggested themselves:

Several projects have suggested themselves:
- Start a new food blog based on the cookbook and meal plan I created this year.
- Keep a nature journal every day for a year.
- Continue work on my novel.
- Plan to devote more energy to fibre craft during the second and third quarters, when I'm less verbal and more visual.
- Get published in new magazine markets, of course.
