Rather than announcing true New Year Resolutions, I mean there is always stuff to work on, personally, but I am finding myself on the side of keeping those goals quiet and to myself, I did, however want to embark on a little project of sorts. I mean, one of many I am sure. This never ending quarantine, with a side order of state of emergency and a stay at home order, allows free time for projects. This one will be fun, I think and perhaps branch off to other things.
This year I pledge to watch 52 documentaries.
I am endlessly interested in people's stories. I firmly believe it makes me far more empathetic and understanding in my general day to day life. Also you end up with a crap-ton of talking points for whenever we are once gain allowed to gather in groups. Did you know what would evolve into the lego factory/company burned to the ground 3 times before it took over the world with it's little plastic bricks?
I plan on documenting this project here and perhaps sharing on facebook just for the ease of conversation. FB is a little bit of a dumpster fire these days, with everyone trying to yell their opinions louder and, at times, meaner than everyone else. I just hang out there to keep in touch with far flung family, friends etc. As much fun as I have watching documentaries, I really love discussing them afterwards. My kids say if they had a dollar for every time I started a sentence with, I watched this documentary...... or I heard on a podcast. They'd be set for life.
I'm not quite sure how to roll this out.... pick a singular posting day? Post as I watch? Double up on documentary posting if I am getting ahead of myself? Meh I am sure it will work itself all out as I go.
Plan to post my thoughts on the first doc I watched this year tomorrow!
