The first quarter of 2015 has flown by and with it many missed opportunities to work on my goals. Taking time to check in on the progress made towards goals is as important as making the goals. It is a way to stir up some urgency to make concrete plans before the year is completely gone. So, that is where I am this morning as I reflect on what has been achieved and what has not in relation to my Nature Study Goals for 2015.

Goals Update
1. Yosemite Photo Project: We took one of the photos during our last visit to Yosemite a few weeks ago. I need to plan better for our next visit in June.
2. Visit one new state park: Nope, not yet.
3. Visit one new national park: We have firm plans and reservations to visit Zion National Park later in the year.
4. Visit a bird refuge: We picked a refuge that is about three hours away and will be visiting in May and then again in November….it is written on my calendar!
5. Take one new hike: Nope, not yet.
6. Read ten nature-related books this year: I have read three and will be started the fourth in April.
7. Rock project: I wrote on my goals sheet the places we will visit to learn about two of the remaining rocks on the list.
8. Create one nature journal entry each month: I am using the Once a Month Nature Journal ideas to create at least one page a month.
9. Rewatch the National Park series on Netflix: Accomplished!!!
