Dear Adventure Avenue,
Throughout 2022, I worked on 5 goals. Let’s see how I did!
1. GROW A GARDEN DONE!
I realized once gardening season started last year that I should have made gardening one of my goals for last year. I love to garden, but with this as a goal, I plan on keeping better track of my gardening adventures. This year in the garden, I plan to:
Plant zucchini in the new plot I started. I’m trying a no dig method to deal with bad soil and weeds.
Well, I’m officially calling it quits on the zucchini for this year. I’ll try again next year!
Plant the tomato seeds I saved from my favorite tomatoe plants of 2021. Done!
While the Amy’s Apricot’s didn’t grow, the Snow White tomatoes are doing very well! I’m still harvesting cherry tomatoes.
Plant herbs and/or strawberries in my new Vertical planter – affiliate link here.
Next year, I will have to plan more strategically for planting in this vertical planter.
All and all, I am happy with my garden this year. My tomatoes are still producing – although they will probably not survive the storm that is currently flooding the pots and beds.
2. DO YOGA 60 TIMES THIS YEAR – THAT’S JUST 5 TIMES A MONTH! DONE!
I love yoga, and it’s so good for my physical and mental health.
In January, I practiced yoga 22 times! (How fitting!)
In February, I practiced yoga 8 times!
In March, I practiced yoga 3 times
In April, I practiced yoga 6 times! (I started going to yoga classes at my town’s Community Center)
In May, I practiced yoga 4 times.
In June, I practiced yoga 3 times.
In July, I practiced yoga 2 times.
In August, I practiced 1 time.
In September, I practiced 2 times.
In October, I practiced 3 times.
In November, I practiced 1 time.
In December I practiced 5 times.
In total, I practiced yoga 60 times!
3. READ OR LISTEN TO 22 BOOKS DONE!
I like to track the books I read throughout the year. Since I love to read, this is a great 2022 inspired goal. In total I read 28 books!
So far this year I have read:
Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendency: Chaos Rising by Timothy Zahn
Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good by Timothy Zahn
Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil by Timothy Zahn
Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser
The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry
Star Wars: Master and Apprentice
Nothing General About it by Maurice Benard
The Dirty Life by Kristin Kimball
Good Husbandry by Kristin Kimball
Leia: Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray
Star Wars: High Republic: Light of the Jedi. by Charles Soule
It’s Your Universe: You Have the Power to Make it Happen by Ashley Eckstein
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin
A Hobbit, A Wardrobe, and a Great War by Joseph Lononte
On Rue Tatin by Susan Herrmann Loomis
Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher
Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon
I finally finished the third book in the High Republic series: The Fallen Star by Claudia Gray. The ending of this book had me in tears. I also read Historic Pictures of Orange County. I also read Be the Boss of Your Stuff by Allie Casazza which is the kids’ version of Declutter Like a Mother. It would definitely be a good read for kids.
I am on book three of Outlander, Voyager by Diana Gabaldon and am still loving this series!
4. DECLUTTER 1000 ITEMS
After reading Declutter Like a Mother by Allie Casazza last year, I decided to give decluttering a go. I started this goal on December 3 and had already decluttered 179 things.
In January, I decluttered 322 items.
In February, I decluttered 27 items.
In March, I decluttered 18 items.
In April, I decluttered 18 items.
In May, I decluttered 35 items.
In June, I decluttered 15 items.
In July, I decluttered 21 items.
In August, I decluttered 23 items.
In September, I decluttered 39 items.
In October, I decluttered 24 items.
In November, I decluttered only 4 things.
In December, I decluttered 50 things.
In total, I decluttered 775 items!
While I didn’t reach my 1000 item goal, I am going to carry this goal over to next year!
I’m just using a piece of graph paper to track mine, but Let’s Live and Learn is where I got the idea to declutter 1000 items. She has a printable that may be helpful – link here.
5. MAKE 100 POSHMARK SALES DONE!
This goal goes along the same lines as goal #4 as some of the things I’m decluttering are nice clothes that just no longer fit or serve me, but still have lots of wear left in them.

Let’s achieve our goals and I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 2022!
Four out of five goals, that’s pretty good.
Sincerely,
A
