It's Halloween, time to get serious about settling in for Winter.

My Winter's work:
* decluttering (J's room, my room, going through all the scrapbook stuff and getting them in books, my personal paperwork backlog)
* finding joy through creation (the murals in the hallway, making music, practicing harmonies, crochet, jewelry, writing)
* my professional development project
* self ed (I don't even care which bits I work on, I just want to start intentionally devoting time every day to learning, again)
* community (uu, quaker, kafg, pride center, non spaghetti dinners)
* health and wellbeing (work on self-nourishing)
* organize the documentary discussion group for Spring

But first:
* get the 5 way-overdue projects done
* get the household ready for winter -- house, clothes, car
* get everything in place for the Big House Project

Also, a bit of end-of-year reflection. I have made great strides this year. I dealt with shit I had been avoiding dealing with for years. There is still more progress to make, but I have cleared out so much old stuff, and been so brave. I'm very proud of the work I've done this year. I also built up a self-care practice that is the best, most sustainable one I've ever had.

What I want out of the year ahead: a more robust local community; a cozier home (kitchen, bathroom, back porch); a backyard we can really enjoy; a clearer vision of what shape I want my activism and community service to take next; a clearer vision of what I want to do with my next 20 working years; more opportunities to make music and spend time with friends; to eat lots of yummy, nourishing food.
