I am so glad to see that you still have x's in your tasks. My longlist is full of them.

What's an American-style quilt?

With the musical, opera, ballet and Shakespeare plays (although mostly with the Shakespeares) do you mean on stage, or are filmed stage productions (or films) sufficient?

Are you part of wildgodcomm? I know I could just go and check the memberlist, but I figure I'd ask instead. I ask because we usually have a form of Advent observance.

You have "hold a dinner party" on your list 3 times: Twice here (host dinner party and host murder mystery dinner party, unless you mean them to be separate occasions), and once on Part 4 (host a dinner party/picnic) of your list. Love the picnic idea, by the way. I have "have/go to X picnics" on my list so I'm all for more picnics in the world.

On Part 2 you have "read the Bible" and here you have "read 3 different translations of the Bible" -- by the time you do the second, wouldn't you have fulfilled the first? This is (to me) is one goal, so you can further pare down your list.

gratefulness (can't quite remember what I meant by this - was possibly a thing wherein one wrote down things for which one was grateful) -- I see (or used to see) a lot of "list X things I'm grateful for daily" but for me, I knew that would be too much. Now I list 5 Great Things for every week. Not quite the same attitude as "grateful," but it's being mindful nonetheless. Were you thinking of doing something like ThxThxThx (she writes a daily "thank you" note)?
