It's 2024! and I have some plans for the new year. I am planning to learn some new skills this year. Number One is swimming. I have taken swimming lessons several years ago but, for reasons, didn’t keep them up. I’m hoping that 2024 is the year where consistency will reign and I can become a swimmer, instead of a wannabe swimmer.

Gardening is another skill; I haven’t had much success with growing things. I have been good with my sister’s plants but generally, I have a brown thumb in every sense of the word. I am hoping to reverse this and start to get into my Mother Nature phase.

I already know how to ride a bike but I want to start riding regularly. My knees won’t let me run any more (sob!) but riding a bike should fulfill my need for (moderate) speed.
