The world changed a lot from the beginning of March to the end of March. I mostly have remained unphased, besides being suddenly unemployed, and having a completely different and new routine. Many of my plans for March were no longer possible. Here were my goals and how I did.

Eat vegan once a week
I’ve tried this one before, but it’s something I have to more purposefully move towards.
So, I wasn’t able to eat one full day each week as vegan, but I have been eating a lot more purely vegan meals. There are days where the only non vegan thing I eat is a bit of butter. I count this as a partial check for goals completed.

Schedule two docs
I have to take my health more seriously and I need to do those things that I really don’t want to do and continually put off. Baby steps.
Wellllll, here’s where the world started to get in my way as far as my March goals go. I had wanted to find a therapist, a dentist, visit my doc, etc…. I didn’t get any of those goals going. BUT I was able to get an appointment for Tom for a new oncologyst. So I’m counting this as a partial check off.

Schedule two trips
This balances out the above, but If I don’t plan to schedule trips, I don’t take them. I have a lot of ideas where I want to go and have narrow it down and book them up. My short list includes NOLA, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Bermuda, Beacon NY…
And this was a no.

Go to Brooklyn
I’ve been saying I would go back for a visit since November 2019, it’s time to actually go.
Also, NO.

Write two letters
As soon as I thought of this goal, I received a letter in the mail and I knew I had made a good choice.
I wrote 1 letter!

Things are looking a lot different in April than I thought they would at the beginning of March. Keeping that in mind, here are my goals for April:

Learn some and do some yoga
I’ve been putting this off, but now’s the perfect time to make some progress.

Finish some art and illustration
I’ve been enjoying @carsonellis ‘s daily quarantine art prompts and #transmundanetuesdays but haven’t actually done any yet. I want to finish my cross stitch. Many more projects I can think of!

Read 3 books
I’m really trying to get off the computer and the phone and do more of the things I love.

Be mindful of the garden
I’m not a stellar gardener. I’d like to learn to be better at it.

Continue to improve my health
Eating well, cooking, finding new low waste alternatives, and home remedies are key at this time and I want to continue this journey in a purposeful way.

This seems like a goals list that fits with my priorities and mindset for this month.

What are your goals for April?
