So what now? Walmart is dragging me down. But without my own computer and internet access it has been rather hard to be diligent in creating that perfect resume and getting out of here. I really have no one to blame but myself but a new year brings new resolutions. So here are mine
1. Get back in shape... I'm not too worried about weight or numbers or anything. I just want to be happy with my body, and most importantly healthy. Small goal is to get back to a size 5 or 7 by April. Wish me luck. I've been reading a lot from www.zenhabits.net great info concerning creating a lifestyle and making changes that you are happy with. Check it out.
2. Cook more. I've been looking into several cookbooks and magazines and have been inspired. I'm aiming at a couple times a week for starters. I'll work my way up to more. I'm hoping this will help inforce a healthier lifestlye since cooking and eating at home is better than fast food obviously, plus it saves money in the long run! Hopefully this can spill over and benefit those around me like Jay and my awesome roommate Laura.
3. WRITE MORE! Be it blogging or creative outputs like the poetry on my other site, just writing more to get things out. Good for the brain. Good for the heart. I've been reading a lot more lately so that always inspires me. Jay has me hooked on the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Never read much from the Master of Horror before this with the exception of a some shorts that I wasn't overly impressed with. However, the Dark Tower is captivating. Read The Stand as well, which is on the BBC top 100 Novels of All time, was not impressed with that. BORING. But I'm currently on the Wolves of Calla, and can't wait to finish it, along with the others. They are making a series of movies for the Dark Tower soon, to be started once JJ Abrams finishes with LOST. I have mixed feelings on how some things will translate, but am generally excited, as is the case with most book to movie senarios.
4. BE HAPPY! I've spent way too much time just going through the motions, and being generally depressed for no reason. But when it all boils down to it, I don't have that much to complain about. I have an AMAZING boyfriend, who makes me feel loved and adored every single day. A decent job. A house, and enough money to get by with, if not live extravagantly. I hope to show those around me how important they are to me more often. We reap what we sow.
They say people hold up to their goals more if there is some public accountability, so here's a promise to myself to live more, and live well.
