Playing with Pages

I don't really understand pages.  So I'm playing with some stuff.

More WaywardP content: Two things:  I like baby steps. I don't like "New Year's Resolutions."  And these two things are connected.

Resolutions seem too big.  Too definite, unyielding, unforgiving.  They also seem fated to fail, the New Year's variety in particular.  A momentary resolve spurred by holiday excess that naturally falls away once the hangover fades.  A new habit of hitting the gym before work falters with the first late night movie, cold or conflict and never gets picked up again.

On the flip side baby steps can be very insidious - in a good way.  You don't have to eat healthy (always, every time, forEVER) - you just have to eat some vegetables this one time right here.  You won't even notice it.  You don't have to run a marathon, just one mile right now.  Or just put some running shoes on and see what happens.  Kinda like when I cleaner my house instead of clean my house.  I'm going for cleaner, not clean.  Expectations instantly evaporate and I have nothing but positive accomplishment that feeds on itself and creates a perpetual positive feedback loop.

So I don't do New Year's resolutions.  I do like to have goals and often will do some reflecting upon and/or setting of goals around my birthday.  My birthday was almost three months ago and I didn't write goals down as they aren't terribly coherent.  But the theme goes something like this:
  • Art
  • Relationships & connections (friends, family, community)
  • Food
