356 Days Left

First off, I love the internet. I could could type, "How many days left until Feb 19, 2014," and I got an answer in a website. http://daycalc.appspot.com/02/19/2014

Bookmarked!

This is why it's good for me to visit this list each and every week. It's easy to get sucked up into life and forget the goals. I'm doing some fun stuff this week that wasn't on the list like finishing my sister's baby invites. I'm adding an "other" section at the bottom to keep track of creative pursuits that aren't part of the goals. 

Goals last week and goals this week:

1. Photoshop (Lynda.com class)
NA

2. Illustrator (Lynda.com class)

4. Painting 365 Faces: DRAW 365
I've changed this to draw that many faces. I'll paint them too but DRAWING is the most important. Today I did 5 so I've got 6 finished. Only 359 more to go. 
This week: Draw 10.

5. Read 8 books

10. Stress
I've jogged 3 times this week, and that is a huge improvement over past months. I haven't started meditation yet. Thanks for the reminder.

Other:
- I am in an online art workshop and so far I'm keeping pace with the assignments.
- Designed, printed, lined envelopes and mailed sister baby shower invites. Illustrator work. Felt really good.
