Sunshine Revival Challenge #1
Jul. 17th, 2025 02:06 amJournaling Prompt: Light up your journal with activity this month. Talk about your goals for July or for the second half of 2025.
Goals for the second half of 2025, copied from my New Year's Resolutions list!
🌻 Buy a new bra - I hate shopping for bras, so I need the reminder. 😅
🌻 Crochet one [1] granny square - So far I've only learned how to do single crochet stitches and then got distracted, but my friend gave me a great crocheting book for my birthday, so I'm motivated! The ultimate goal is to make 9 or so squares (depending on size) and sew them onto one of my old totebags.
🌻 Read three books - Done! 🎉 I set this goal suuuper low on purpose because I never know if I'm going to hit a reading slump or not. This year I re/discovered not one but two series of great, short, light reading books, so I've read 3.5 Cadfael novels and 2 Jeeves and Wooster novels so far, plus one Doctor Who novelisation. At this rate I'm mostly on track for 12 books this year, which for me is v. good!
🌻 Comment on at least 1 fanfic per month - So far this year I've missed May, but otherwise I'm on track!
🌻 Post on Dreamwidth once per month - Heheh! This one I'm not doing so well with, but I'm persevering!
🌻 Highly ambitious goal: Get a new job - This one is mostly motivated by money: I'm not unhappy where I am, but the pay just isn't good enough (retail) when I'm only working part time. I am paying my rent though, so for now I'm allowing myself to not stress about it too much, and only apply to jobs I think actually sound nice, for my sanity.
🌻 Post one (1) anonymous fic on the Best Enemies kink meme - This one I thought would be really easy, and then it was really hard!! I think I get too in my head about writing to prompts, even when I really like the prompts: 'What if this isn't what the prompter wanted at all!' and so on.
