Day 0365

A year! Endured another Christmas. Lovely food, exhausting family, strange misdirection of efforts and attention to achieve something (peace and goodwill) that would quite happily come on its own accord, with much less faff.

Need to change the terms of this project to get more out of it. I will do 25 hours of painting a week. The goal is to get good at painting.

The correct goal is to try to increase happiness, both my own and those around me. I understand that broadly this means pursuing good family relationships, strengthening friendships, focusing on the present, being grateful and leading a purposeful life. My purpose is my art. I will tackle the other things in a less systematic way, though I may in fact need a routine for soft skills as well. Here's to the next 365 days.
