My impulse is also to go after projects full speed ahead and then crash and burn a few weeks in. I know I will crash and burn. I have a full-time job, a family, friends, pets, and a lifelong relationship with sheer laziness to assure that keeping up any one project on a day-to-day basis for an entire year will be a real challenge. I obviously cannot keep up six or seven simultaneous projects on a day-to-day basis. I can, however, do a little something toward one or the other on a day-to-day basis, thus managing over time to make progress on all. Or so I tell myself&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>These are the Facebook pages I plan to keep up this year:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lucypeanut\/\">Lucy Peanut and Friends<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/happinessvsme\/\">Happiness vs. Me<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AliceInMississippi\/\">Alice in Mississippi<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/466493663558051\/\">Paper Cranes for Peace<\/a> (FB Group)<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention I have a job, and this is not what I do full time?<\/p>\n<p>As noted, I&#8217;m not promising to update everything every day. I intend, instead, to update something most days and everything at reasonably frequent intervals. The exception is that I do hope to make paper cranes and photograph them most days because I am trying to get to 1000 by the end of the year. <\/p>\n<p>To that end, I joined a Daily Dog Challenge group on Flickr today. That should help make Lucy Peanut&#8217;s page more interesting.<\/p>\n<p>My first two challenge shots for the group:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sgerald\/23783975529\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Living Vacuum\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5829\/23783975529_b27eded9b5_c.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" alt=\"Living Vacuum\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sgerald\/24076161201\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Serious Sweetness\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1705\/24076161201_263b9ddb6f_c.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"Serious Sweetness\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to say I&#8217;m responsible for the staging on these, but Lucy Peanut and Jack Cat did most of the work to that end. I just recognized opportunity when I saw it. That&#8217;s basically why I&#8217;m doing this. I tend to live so far inside my own head that I have to trick myself into noticing things that are happening outside of my head. Pets and photography are two of my favorite ways to do so. <\/p>\n<p>Note: The photo prop for the cupcake thief shot above did not survive for very many seconds after this image was snapped.<br \/>\nNote: Just in case you are judging me, I do not generally give my dog sweets.<br \/>\nNote: I believe Lucy Peanut can and would take me down for a sweet after eating the cupcake today. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the spirit of embracing my own hummingbird nature of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-project-sharon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2204\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
