A Month And A Half...shameful!

I should hide in shame, tucked away in the corner. Oh wait...I'm already in a corner. Right then, moving on. I had no idea it'd been over a month since my last blog. After blogging at a fairly decent rate for quite some months, I've fallen off the face of the earth seemingly, and I have no one to blame for it but me. Between the New Year, life in general, and trying to shift my focus onto more important things, I haven't had much inclination to write. I've been working slowly on my website, and it's coming along nicely, but not nearly as active as I'd hoped for. My efforts and attempts at losing weight have been rather sloth like in their progress, a fact attributed to all of the above reasons listed for not blogging. I'm reading more, which is good, and I am making some head way in the realm of finances and budget planning, so I guess I deserve a pat on the back for that one. But all the same...I'm still not doing what I thought I'd be doing at this point in the year.

And yes, for the record, I am fully cognizant that it's only 14 days into the new year. So hush.

My goal this month is to branch out a bit more. Start hiking again, going outdoors, doing things with friends and family so I have actual life experiences to draw from. I'm planning on posting pictures that I've taken online, sort of like my own photography studio to showcase my work. I'm also hoping to start riding again, maybe only once or twice a month, but it's better than nothing. Hell, maybe I'll give up the photography job and sign on as a volunteer hand at a barn for lessons. Who knows, the possibilities are endless, right?

I'm finding myself opening up to more aspects of my life too. I can remember the day I decided to stop holding back from my relationship, and dedicate myself whole heartedly. It was one of those momentous, eye opening thoughts, where I hadn't even realized that I'd been holding back until I made the decision to jump in completely. With that decision though has come a peaceful calm that's making so many other things so much easier for me. I am optimistic that it'll carry on throughout the year ^_^
