Goals for 2026


Talk less; listen more. I know I say this every year, but I'm practicing it this year. Really. I am.

Duolingo. A friend included me in her paid version of this app, and now I'm amping up my language practice. I'm focusing on Spanish and French. 

Sci fi and fantasy. I want to read more of science fiction and fantasy. Please share some titles I should read.

Barre. Power pump. Step. I'm trying some new classes at our rec center. I've loved everything I've tried so far.

Write each day. Ten minutes.

Blog at least once a week. My seventeenth year. Host a weekly gathering, welcome to all, The Sunday Salon. 

Nature. Learn more about it. Get out in it. Share it with others.

Reading/blogging challenges. I went a little overboard with these. 2026 Challenges: Nonfiction Reader Challenge. Back to the Classics Challenge. Nick's Chapter-a-Day Tolstoy Challenge. Speccy Fiction Challenge. Japanese Literature Challenge. Nature Reading Challenge. Creativity Reading Challenge. Happiness Reading Challenge. Immigration Reading Challenge. Contemplative Reading Project. A-Z Blogging Challenge. Historical Fiction Reading Challenge. Mount TBR Reading Challenge. Library Love Challenge. Baking/Cooking Challenge. My Perpetual Challenges: 1001 Children's Books, Classics Club

I shall continue to work to promote happiness and kindness and education and truth and gratitude and the common good in the world. How exactly shall I do this? I don't know, but I hope to figure it out each day.






Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.

  2. What wonderful goals for 2026. I am also on Duolingo for French, and is also attending a very informal French course where I live. I am thinking of what I want to go for this year, but am not entirely ready yet. It will come.
    Good luck with your goals. Especially with all the challenges ... wow.
