I've been putting off acknowledging it but 2013 is halfway done already! That explains why I'm currently MELTING in the hot hot heat of Toronto. Maybe...
So how's the year so far? I'm pretty happy with it, all things considered, although I don't think I've done anything I had planned. Hmm...well, let's take a look shall we? I originally had some resolutions back in January...
1. Have a minimum of $5000.00 in a separate savings account by the end of the year.
Well I have the cash but not the separate account quite yet...I actually forgot about it. I wish just at the bank yesterday too. Oh well, it's an easy done deal just gotta get around to it....
2. Maintain a healthy lifestyle!
I'm still playing around with my diet and my exercises and experimenting all the time and so far so good! My newest thing is to try to snack more on dried fruit instead of, you know, chocolate or cookies or something. On the other hand, as I mentioned, it's hot as h-e-c-k and I thus I have a tub of Chocolate-Banana ice cream in the fridge. So take it for what it's worth...
3. Try a few "new" interests.
I've definitely been a little experimental in my activities this year! Trying to just have a little fun...taking photos, got into Lego a bit, got a few mind-expanding activities under my belt...collecting record albums and model batmobiles but only in the most casual way...
Well, I don't really remember what I was getting at with this point...I guess I just wanted some novelty in my life. Hmmmm....I never did buy a bicycle but I DID buy all-new living room furniture and basically reorganized my whole apartment...that ought to count!
4. Start trying to put more of my writing energies into a "big picture" project.
This is on a slow, slow burn but there is some progress happening. I've been pondering a lot of backstory and world-building for a universe I'm trying to create in my mind and a lot of ideas have come together. The hard part, which I am terrible at, is actually WRITING all this stuff down! It'll come out eventually...
In the meantime, I'm also into some songwriting, as last week's "blog" will attest...
5. Be flexible and don't be afraid to experiment.
I am making a conscious effort to confront every idea with a "Why not??" attitude instead of a "Why bother?" attitude. I think it's working out pretty well but hey...time will tell, right?
Ok well so 6 months through 2013 and things are going pretty well. My apartment looks nice, I feel pretty good...healthy and fit and peaceful....can't complain! Well...I CAN....but it seems silly. I'm lonely but happy and quite content to wait and see what the rest of the year unveils. After all, as the song goes: "Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans..."
