Stop - Start - Continue: 2023

I got this idea from: Reflections From The Bell Curve


In 2023, I will stop over-thinking about my future and enjoy what I'm doing now. I'm slowly getting better at this. And future can mean any future, including like this coming Friday. I'll let myself look forward to the weekend, but that shouldn't stop me from enjoying my morning walks to the bus stop and other mundane weekday activities.

In 2023, I will start being more open to new projects at work, even if they are in areas that don't really interest me. I realized toward the end of 2022 how rewarding this can be when I helped out at a work event. I'm not super experienced when it comes to library programming and events, and up until last month I thought I wanted nothing to do with it, but I ended up having a good time and feeling very accomplished afterward, even though the work itself was a little stressful.

In 2023, I will continue cooking and trying out new recipes, then writing and drawing about the experiences. For the good recipes, anyway. See: A bout of inspiration

    Briana; First off, thanks for the shout-out and including a link to my blog. Second, your three manageable and finite actions in this post mean you'll have a higher likelihood of success. So, congratulations getting started and good luck. Third, I'm not sure why but it looks like this comment might come to you from "Alison" - that's my daughter's name - but please know it's from me. I'm going to now look at your post about the books you finished last year and probably make a comment there as well. Keep blogging!

Using the internet to find recipes is wonderful, yes? Well for some reason I recently decided that reading recipes on the internet, while great and convenient, was not enough for me. I wanted a more personalized experience for my recipe-reading. And I was hit with inspiration on how I wanted to do it in a very (for me) unexpected place: The Historical Society of Pennsylvania , a.k.a HSP, a.k.a. my own darn workplace. I recently had the delight of looking through Martha Washington's cookbook while helping out at HSP’s Young Friends open house in December. I was blown away by the intricacy of this little book, and fascinated at the simple beauty in writing down recipes that are important to you. So, I tried it out myself. Behold: The first page of Briana Giasullo’s Cookbook. Pictured recipe:  Date Night Rigatoni with Sausage and Kale  from Pinch of Yum Don’t mind the writos and messy design, please. This was all done rather quickly and on a whim, remember. But it was fun! And while I
