Plans for 2019 and Word of the Year

Happy New Year!  This year I am taking part in Ilona's 1000 mile walking challenge.  That means I am going to endeavour to walk one thousand miles this year.  Hopefully I will feel happier and healthier for doing so.  I also want to draw and paint more, grow plants and try to be a bit more self reliant.

My word for 2019 is observe.  This should come in particularly useful with my drawing and painting.

If I am not at my blog in 2019 I will probably be out walking!

  1. Good for you Simone!
    I walked quite a bit in 2018 and it certainly makes you feel a lot better.

    1. I enjoy walking Vivienne so it shouldn't be much of a hardship! :)

  2. Great idea - nothing like a good walk and being outdoors in the fresh air for clearing the mind. Happy New Year Simone x

    1. Thank you Rosie. I enjoy walking and getting out and about so it shouldn't be a problem to achieve 1000 miles :)

  4. Even if you fall short of the mileage, Simone, you will be miles ahead of where you'd be if you hadn't taken a step. I wish you multitudes of magic moments observing as you go. Happy new year.

    1. Happy New Year Sharon! I've walked 7 miles in 2 days so I am well on target if I continue walking this way :)

  5. Sounds like a great plan, Simone. I need to walk more, too. And I'm integrating more stretching into my days this year.

    I'm not announcing my word till Friday, but I'll share it with you early. ;) It's GROW. It feels good.

    Here's to a wonderful 2019!

  9. Hello, Simone! It has been a long time since I commented on your blog since my computer would not allow me to. Every time I tried to "publish" a comment, it would disappear! I'm trying a different browser and I hope it will work.
    I'm impressed with your walking goal this year and I'm sure it will give you many opportunities to "observe" the wonders of nature.
    I also loved seeing photos of your home decorated for Christmas and was so happy to read that you had an enjoyable visit with your son.
    Wishing you a very happy new year! xxx
