Not-So Average Goals

I have a few goals in my life. I have the goals of be happy and generous and service-oriented and all that kind of stuff, but I have some. . . less lofty, less long-term goals as well. For example:

Sew a bunch of dresses for myself

This is actually my summer project and it is in the works (yay!) I have patterns and fabric and we just got the sewing machine back from the shop so I should be making headway soon.

Have a personal library

This is also a work in process. I have over one hundred books in my bedroom. I don't actually have any bookshelves, though, so they're just hanging out in bins under my bed. This does tend to make me less motivated to pick up a new old book (and so I read the same few favorites). I have this vision of having a room completely dedicated to books and learning. This may never happen, but I'll dream about it until it does.

Have a swing in my backyard

This is something that I've always wanted for as long as I can remember. For one, swings are my favorite and I could spend all day on one. For another, I think the image of a swing on a tree branch is completely and utterly romantic. This one is saved for when I have my own house.

Garden

I think this may also be implemented when I'm at my own place. But I have pictures in my head of lots of pretty flowers in the sunset. I suppose you could call me a romantic if you wanted.

Exercise

Let's just say this one's a work in progress. I have a tendency to hate being winded. I much prefer my books, thank you.
