It's been my #NewYearsResolution to quit drinking caffeinated coffee and alcohol for the entire year. We've been well into the fifth month of this year, and I'm holding strong.
I had my fair share of cravings, but I'm really enjoying being energized and clearheaded all the time. My sleep quality has increased tenfold, and I no longer need to sit in quiet existence for an hour each morning before becoming a pleasant human being.

Ok, I have a new year's resolution!
What? It's February.
Don't care.
Anyway, I resolve to take advantage of several places' unpopulated off seasons by exercising the skills to be fine with weather and obstacles that most others avoid.
Going solo in the remote harsh when no help will pass by... what could go wrong?

Not mine, but FFS having a “My Year In Tacos" dataviz at the end of 2025 is the most inspiring quantified self goal I've seen all year.
This #NewYearsResolution should be about increasing your #privacy. Share now!
I decided I needed to start working with my hands more this year (I’m not calling it a #newYearsResolution, but I do like to reflect a bit over the holiday break), and I’ve just completed my first proper #crochet project! Very proud.

'Long Live the Old Year'
Ring out the old, ring in the new. But how easy is it to do this?
My contemplation on the transition from the old year into a new year

I’ve started making a playlist called “New Let The Dogs Out”, so I’m basically 25% of the way towards starting my #NewYearsResolution
20% if you count making the to-do list itself, which I haven’t done yet.
Today marks the end of the first full week of 2025. And I have two rhetorical questions:
1. This week, how much attention did you spend on people and things you don't like?
2. Was it serving you?
Know someone who made a New Year's Resolution to learn to knit? My Beginner Knitting Pattern post includes 18 free knitting patterns that are super easy and offer more than the cliched garter scarf! When I say beginner, I mean it. Many are just rectangles in basic stitches that are seamed to form hats, sweaters, bags, and more.

Live Music in 2025
My New Years resolutions speculations post from a few weeks ago included seeing more live music this year. I’ll use posts like this one to sort of take notes on shows that may be coming to my neck of the woods (or not) that I would like to try and work up the energy/courage to go see. We’ll see how this list develops over the course of the year.
More to come as the year rolls on. I want 2025 to be a more musical year, but how badly do I want that? I’ll let you know as things develop.
