Goals 55-73.

55. Spend an entire summer’s day in my hammock in the garden. I attempted this many times only to end up doing a chore in the garden.

56. Become a companion with my IB. I am very familiar with this concept now.

57. Take weekends off from cooking. Done! Especially when we go on day trips in the summer and fall.

58. Sleep more. I realized this is based on the desires of my body, so I go with what my body does. Sometimes it sleeps past 11 am and sometimes it awakens at the crack of dawn.

59. Go to bed being appreciative. This process guarantees blissful, restful sleep and refreshing renewal.

60. Tapestry Bloom pillow. Stunning to say the least. I admire it each night before going to sleep.

61. More day trips to NYC, when street festivals are on. Perhaps next year…

62.Orlando in the spring. The year isn’t over and I do have plans to see the HP theme park.

63. Visit top 5 chocolate makers in New England (as listed by Yankee magazine). Rain check.

64. See the Pinchot Sycamore; largest tree in New England. Rain check

65. Breakfast at the Modern Diner listed as the best diner in New England. We never awake and alert enough at breakfast time…

66. Attend a summer concert in Tanglewood. Rain check.

67. Take naps. I do have the luxury of taking these, but I always feel I have more important things to do, such as reading a book instead of shutting my eyes.

68. Surprise someone. I did this several times this year and I do it for the pleasure I receive more than anything else.

69. Walk barefoot in the garden for a day. Oh! What fun this is!

70. Mandala coloring book. I printed some form a free mandala website and filled them in while listening to lovely music, or just sitting quietly. It is a very relaxing focused form of meditation.

71. Learn a new beading technique. Taught myself quite a few of these.

72. Read Wiki randomly on a daily basis. This lead to a lot of other interesting websites so much so that weeks would go by without Wiki reading.

73. Donate all the winter clothes I did not wear this year. I did this for the summer clothes and I suspect there will be plenty at the end of winter too.
