Apr 29: How have your goals changed as you've gotten older? They've become much less ambitious. I'm less optimistic (or more realistic, depending on how you want to view it) about my abilities.

Apr 30: What’s a nice thing you did for somebody today? I played hide-and-seek with one of my kids.

May 1: Who made you feel good this week? A bunch of people on Ravelry.

May 2: Have you ever seen the same movie more than twice at a theater? Yep. I saw Return of the Jedi in the theater four times, and more recently I saw Wonder Woman three.

May 3: Do you still have toys, clothes, or schoolwork from when you were very young? I have White Dog, the stuffed toy I got for Valentine's Day when I was six.

May 4: Who is your favorite Star Wars character? Leia. Always.

May 5: Do you tend to be more optimistic or pessimistic? Pessimistic. I hope for the better outcome but expect that something's going to go wrong or that it's not going to be as good as I'd hoped. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.

I think goal setting is an interesting one. We're much more likely to achieve our goals if they are realistic, but at the same time they're not really goals if they don't require us to reach out a bit, with the possibility we won't always achieve them. It's like me saying I'll do something every day next week (very unrealistic), or three days next week (more or less normal practice) and settling on five days next week (realistic with some effort).

I like the idea of setting craft goals and certainly with knitting and crotchet they're easy to pick up and do a few rows. And, as you say, if you don't then it's no major concern. I find having goals like that is sufficient to just nag myself into doing a little most days, rather than finding a week and then two has gone past. Plus there's the satisfaction of seeing something grow.
