Happy 2014, folks. I'm sick, and I gotta say, I'm not feeling very enthused this holiday season. I'm in a rut, I'm feeling physically and emotionally unstable, and blah. How's that for some holiday spirit?
Even so, I'm going to work to make some changes this year. Fresh start and all, right? I'm going to approach things a little differently this time - at least differently for me, anyway. Rather than picking some big goal, or talking about what I won't do, I'm going to focus on the actions and things I want to do. Pretty straight forward, I think. Maybe a little simpler than what I've tried in the past. So, without any further ado, my action steps.
For 2014, I want to take more pictures. I've been in bed sick for going on three days, so today's shot is of my tv. Welcome to Twin Peaks, which is one hell of a messed up show. I thought I was watching Northern Exposure - I got the names confused. It took me about an hour to figure out I was wrong.
I'm aiming for one photo a day, but I may be playing catch-up at the end of the week. I hope to improve my photography through practice. Lots and lots of practice. (This is a sad start. It gives me lots of room for improvement.)
For 2014, I want to eat more veggies, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and fish. If I eat more of those things, there's less room for sugar and junk foods.
For 2014, I want to walk more and give running a shot. I need the time in the sun, and I need the exercise. Three days a week, is what I'm shooting for. I'd love to run a 5k this year. Or maybe a 10k. Dream big, right?
For 2014, I'm going to try to speak with more kindness. So far today, I'm not doing so well on this. (How many damned root beers does a 12 year old need in one day, for Pete's sake?!? I just bought them on Sunday!!!) Luckily, tomorrow's another day.
So that's it. Four things. I'll be trying to blog about it, but I'm back to working full time so it won't be every day. Here's to 2014. A fresh start, a new year, an inspiration to one and all. (That last bit was a tad sarcastic. But, not unkind, so we're good.)
