i should really update here more, but between work + playing in a band (!!! can't wait to share that one when we have something recorded) + trying to see more of my friends and family, i find myself with little computer time to spare.
these days, the little bits of free time i can steal away are being used to try to tackle
http://fiftyfifty.me i've read 42 books and seen 43 movies, i think, at this point for 2012. which means i have a lot to do in this next week and a half. here's where i am right now:
http://pinterest.com/boygirlparty/fiftyfifty-me/ i don't know if i'll make it to 50/50, but i've already decided to do it next year, too.
2012 has been a challenging year full of the highest highs (great illustration assignments, two wonderful and fun solo shows, joining an incredible band, becoming a healthier person, and adopting our cat Violet) and the lowest lows (the death of our Peechee cat, the deaths of many friends and relatives, economic hardship, health scares/problems)
throughout the year i held myself to a few hopes and dreams for the year:
1. to prioritize my health.
2. to consume 50 books and 50 movies.
3. to travel more for fun, not just for work.
4. to delight in creativity for leisure, not just work. (ie play music, draw for fun, etc)
and throughout 2012, i've done them all and have been at my happiest when finding that balance (though possibly this has contributed to aforementioned economic hardship.)
but i think i'm better for having done so.
2013, i'm ready for you.
