New Years resolutions follow-up: May

It’s the first of the month, so that means it is time to review the progress I’ve made over the past 30 days on my New Years Resolutions (to see the resolutions click here: https://www.mrvintageman.com/happy-new-year-2020/).

Let’s get to it:

  • Travel: still in abeyance, partly due to things still being shut down, but also partly due to not having any plans to travel in the month of April.
  • Bicycling grade: F. Not a single ride over the past month. Not sure why I am not into bicycling yet, but I do expect some improvement in the upcoming months.
  • Reading grade: C. Now that the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the sun is shining brighter, I’m spending a lot more time outside and I’ve regressed a bit on my read. I downloaded several digital gardening magazines so I am getting some reading in. Will refocus my efforts in the days to come.
  • Gardening grade: A+! In the past month I’ve prepped the bird-bath garden for its renovation, put organic matter down on the lawn and in the garden beds, had the lawn aerated and fertilized, overhauled the dry shade/sun garden in front of the house and with MrsVintage’s hard work we are making good progress on overhauling the dry section on the south side of the house. Good job!

One of the bits of wisdom many of us learn as we get older is that there is just only so much time and energy available to us, and that we need to set our priorities and learn to forgive ourselves for not being perfect. If I want to spend hours each day out in the yarden, I’m going to have less time and energy available for other activities. And that’s ok.

How are you doing on you resolutions so far?
