100 skills...

[non sequitur photo courtesy a train trip to seattle last fall. that's puget sound...lovely, eh!?]

I just ran across this wonderful list, and what impeccable timing, as we're still in the first month of this brand new year.

As I've mentioned before, I generally avoid "resolutions," as I'm much better at falling of the bandwagon than staying on it. To me, "resolution" tends to be a loaded term--one that often implies a high level of 'consistency' and 'routine,' both of which I'm terrible at. Perhaps you have better luck and black-belt in self-discipline. If so, I'm envious.

That said, I do love the idea of challenging myself to learn something new each year--something that doesn't require restriction, gym dates, and 365 days of remembering to floss--and this list would be make a great checklist for such a game. I think I'll begin with numbers 12, 58, 59 and 75. Cheers to adding a few new skills to your tool belt!

I have taken to referring my these type of things as my good intentions.

If you need help with your drilling ambitions, I own two drills and would happily find something around the homestead for you to drill. :-)
