Glacial Erratics

It's a New Year (Happy New Year everyone), so it must be time for some new resolutions. But first a review of the last batch. How did I do:    (PW8)

Back down to 150  T    (PW9)

Not likely to happen. I keep adding muscle because of this climbing class I have. I float between 155 and 165. I'd still like to be lighter but I'd be putting the hurt on myself if I tried.    (PWA)

Back up to 5.12  T    (PWB)

Not quite. Not enough outdoor climbing.    (PWC)

Yell at and/or thank the right people more  T    (PWD)

This probably needs more work. The idea was to make sure that I didn't swallow my anger or my gratitude.    (PWE)

Put the beauty back  T    (PWF)

Not enough.    (PWG)

Climb a mountain  T    (PWH)

Not yet. My relationship to the mountains is such these days that this one can be subsumed into some of the others. If I succeed at those, then I will have climbed a mountain at some point.    (PWI)

Boundaries, Schedules, Routines  T    (PWJ)

Ah, hmmm. Not really. Just recently I've started going out for breakfast each morning before work and doing a little catch up, taking advantage of free wireless around the place. This is good. There's a transition in the day which is very helpful.    (PWK)

More: sleep, water, exercise, traction, fruit  T    (PWL)

This I probably managed. With the advent of diagnosed hypoglycemia and food allergies plus the climbing class, the amount of attention paid to sleep, water, exercise, and fruit has gone up. Not sure about traction.    (PWM)

Less: work  T    (PWN)

Totally tanked on this one. Not only did I work more, but I made intentional decisions to remove some things from my life so I would have more time to focus on work. This was a choice and I don't regret it: the work was worth doing, but in the grand scheme of things it seems likely I'm making a poor trade. So for good measure this stays on the list.    (PWO)

The New List    (PWP)

Less: work  T    (PWQ)

   (PWR)

Maintain traction    (PWS)

Finish what gets started    (PWT)

When given responsibility, take power    (PWU)

There seem to me so many situations in life where one is given responsibility for some thing, but not at the same time given the tools and power to do the thing. I've always felt this an injustice and have felt bound to point out the injustice and push the problems back in the face of the givers of the responsibility, hoping for some correction. The injustice is perhaps just a reality and the only reaction is to find the power and resources to do the thing, or just don't do it. Which leads to the next thing.    (PWV)

JFDI    (PWW)

Just Fucking Do It. Or at least that's the translation I prefer. Ingy's been on me for some time do this. Less talk, more act. Less decision making, more happening. Etc.    (PWX)

More work on boundaries, schedules and routines    (PWY)

That is what it is.    (PWZ)

Climb outdoors    (PX0)

Doesn't matter where or of what type. Just get out there.    (PX1)

Put the beauty back  T    (PX2)

Keep finding it where it is.    (PX3)

Stay in touch    (PX4)

I have fabulous family and friends. I feel like the connections with them are solid, but I don't do my part to keep information flowing on those connections. My life would be better if I did.    (PX5)
